About PhishCloud

PhishCloud unifies IT, OT, and the human layer into one AI-driven defense fabric, delivering real-time phishing protection, cross-domain visibility, and automated response.

Before Cyber Fusion Was a Buzzword, Terry McCorkle Built It in the Field

Long before cyber fusion became a security framework, Terry was already practicing it—blending signals, human behavior, and operational workflows into unified defense:

🎖️ Army Reserve red teams
🛡️ Air National Guard ops
DoD fusion centers
🔍 48 vendor assessments

The Pattern Across Hundreds of Operations

From battlefield comms to critical infrastructure assessments, Terry saw the same systemic flaw: security fails not because of a single weakness, but because teams, tools, and domains operate separately.

One of the First to See It

Terry was among the first cybersecurity leaders to integrate OT, IT, and human-layer signals into a single operational framework. His "100 Bugs in 100 Days" project—exposing 1,000+ vulnerabilities across 48 vendors—proved organizations were drowning in data but blind to connections.

💡 The Core Insight

Cyber Fusion isn't another security framework—it's the operating system that connects your people, systems, and processes into a single defensive organism. PhishCloud operationalizes the methodology Terry refined over 20+ years, turning fragmented visibility into unified defense. The same approach protecting national security, now defending critical infrastructure.

Building the Cyber Fusion Era

From phishing defense to unified AI-driven security operations

2018

PhishCloud Founded

Terry McCorkle launches PhishCloud in June to operationalize the cyber fusion methodology he refined over 20+ years in military and critical infrastructure operations.

💡

The Core Pattern

Across hundreds of operations, Terry identified the systemic flaw: security fails because teams, tools, and domains operate separately. Organizations were drowning in data but blind to connections.

🎖️

Originator, Not Follower

Terry was one of the first to integrate OT, IT, and human-layer signals into a unified framework—long before "cyber fusion" became an industry term.

🚀

Not a Product—A Methodology

PhishCloud isn't just software. It's the operationalization of a proven defense system—turning fragmented visibility into a single defensive organism.

2020

First Platform Launch

PhishCloud introduced real-time visibility into phishing attempts across browsers, email, and collaboration tools.

🎯

Real-Time Detection

Security teams gained instant visibility into phishing attempts across all communication channels.

🔗

Cross-Platform Coverage

Unified protection across browsers, email clients, and collaboration tools like Slack and Teams.

Automated Response

Immediate threat containment without waiting for manual security team intervention.

2024

Phish360° AI Analyst

AI-powered analyst classifies links in 1.8 seconds, turning every employee into a protected endpoint.

🤖

Sub-2-Second Analysis

AI classifies malicious links in just 1.8 seconds on average, faster than any human analyst.

🛡️

Zero-Day Protection

Catches never-before-seen threats that bypass traditional signature-based defenses.

📊

Continuous Learning

AI model improves with every analyzed threat, getting smarter as attack patterns evolve.

2025

Cyber Fusion Center Strategy

PhishCloud introduces custom CFC professional services, helping organizations unify IT, OT, AI, and human telemetry into a single defense strategy.

🔄

IT + OT Integration

Custom professional services helping organizations unify enterprise IT security with operational technology infrastructure protection.

👥

Human Layer Defense

Monitors employee behavior patterns to detect social engineering and insider threats in real time.

⚙️

Military-Grade Methodology

Built on DoD fusion center principles proven in national security operations.

Why PhishCloud Exists

Critical infrastructure operators are drowning in data but blind to connections. We exist to unify what's been fragmented: IT security, OT operations, and facility management into one defense strategy.

🚨

Without Cyber Fusion

Silos, blind spots, reactive failures

1

IT Can't Speak OT

IT security monitors networks. OT teams manage production. Neither understands the other's alerts or priorities.

2

Equipment Failure Goes Unnoticed

Building management system shows energy spike. No one correlates it with production degradation.

3

Security Incident Escalates

Attacker moves from IT to OT. Security team sees anomaly but doesn't understand operational impact.

4

Production Halts

Operations team discovers breach only after production line stops. Days of downtime begin. Revenue loss mounts.

5

Forensics Reveal the Truth

All the signals were there. IT saw network traffic. Facilities saw power anomalies. OT saw equipment behavior changes. No one connected them.

❌ Result: Preventable Failure

Fragmented teams, disconnected data sources, and siloed operations created blind spots attackers exploited. Production loss, security breach, and reputational damage—all preventable with unified visibility.

🛡️

With Cyber Fusion Strategy

Unified operations, predictive intelligence

1

Data Sources Unified

IT security, OT telemetry, and building management data flow into one correlation engine.

2

Anomaly Detected Early

Energy spike in HVAC correlates with unusual network traffic. Fusion Center flags potential failure or security event.

3

Teams Coordinate

IT, OT, and facilities teams receive unified alert with full context. Operational and security implications understood.

4

Threat Contained, Operations Protected

Security isolates compromised systems. Operations reroutes production. Zero downtime achieved.

5

Predictive Intelligence Applied

Patterns identified across domains inform future operations. Equipment failures predicted before they happen. Security improves.

✓ Result: Continuous Operations

Cyber Fusion methodology connected the dots IT, OT, and facilities teams couldn't see alone. Security threat contained, equipment failure prevented, production maintained. This is what unified visibility delivers.
