Quick Answer

DuoCircle launched Link Click Protection on 22 June 2018 as part of its Advanced Threat Defense Suite. Link Click Protection checks URLs against multiple reputation databases at the moment of click, not just at the time of delivery. That matters because modern phishing campaigns increasingly use URLs with previously good reputations, which lets the messages pass browser-level checks and antivirus scanners that rely on static lists. Real-time evaluation catches threats that emerge between delivery and click. Pricing is a flat fee based on company size rather than per-user-per-month, which makes the service accessible to small and mid-sized businesses that historically had to choose between the cost of enterprise-grade protection and going without. The service works with any email client, on any device.

DuoCircle Brings High Performance Enterprise Phishing Protection Services to Small Businesses on a Budget

DuoCircle LLC Announces Comprehensive Phishing Protection Services as a part of its new Advanced Threat Defense Suite: a cost-effective, multi-layered approach to controlling spam, malware and phishing attacks in corporate email.

San Diego, CA 22 June 2018 – Today DuoCircle LLC announces Link Click Protection – a comprehensive phishing protection service. Link Click Protection is a service that protects users against malicious URLs they may click on in email, at a fraction of the cost of similar services

According to Brad Slavin, CEO of DuoCircle, “Last year was a rough year for malware and phishing. 2017 kicked off with hacking and malware infections making news in early January when an effective phishing scam targeting Google Gmail users by tricking them into sharing their login credentials. By the end of the year, these types of brazen frauds had not slowed down, in fact they had gotten worse.”

“Hackers have evolved with technology, finding effective ways to get their hands on sensitive data to exploit it in any way they please.” adds Slavin. “Today’s phishing campaigns are based on URLs with historically good reputations. This allows malicious emails to get past the built-in protections that exist in most web browsers and bypass antivirus malware checks.”

Link Click Protection proactively checks for suspicious links in multiple URL reputation databases each time a link is clicked. While some web browsers such as Google Chrome so respond to new threats within hours, Link Click Protection detects threats in real time.

“DuoCircle is the only company bringing this level of threat protection to the SMB market.” says Slavin. “Other companies are charging a price per user per month, where we charge a set fee based on company size.” DuoCircle offers very competitive pricing for small businesses: many times lower than competitor’s offerings for the same level of spam filtering and phishing protection.

DuoCircle’s Link Click Protection service isn’t bound to a particular email client-server application either (like some higher-priced enterprise solutions). Link Click Protection works using any email client, from any device, anywhere.
