What is eGUARD?
EGUARD helps you spot dangerous emails, impersonators, and online threats before you click a thing. Threats are detected and explained in real time, and displayed directly within the Gmail client (with support for more clients coming soon).
Problem
Users manually check emails for threats, which is time-consuming and prone to human error. Manual checking and risk of missing sophisticated phishing attempts expose them to scams, data breaches, and financial losses.
Solution
A Chrome extension (email security tool) that uses AI-driven detection to scan emails in real time within Gmail, highlighting suspicious links, impersonation attempts, and phishing patterns with inline warnings and explanations.
Customers
Corporate employees, remote workers, and IT security professionals handling high email volumes who prioritize cybersecurity.
Unique Features
Real-time threat detection directly within Gmail’s interface (no external dashboard), AI that explains why an email is flagged (e.g., mismatched sender domains), and proactive warnings before users interact with risky content.

Traction
Launched on ProductHunt in 2024, exact user/revenue data unavailable. Comparable email security tools like Avanan (acquired for $600M+) and IRONSCALES (50k+ clients) suggest market validation.
Market Size
The global email security market is projected to reach $4.8 billion by 2027 (Statista, 2023), driven by rising phishing attacks affecting 85% of organizations annually (IBM).
