Advanced Threat Defense Targets and Destroys Phishing Scams

As a part of the Advanced Threat Defense Suite anti phishing services from DuoCircle, Link Click Protection offers a best-in-class defense against weaponized attachments and malicious links that appear in your employees’ inboxes. These are the two most often seen vectors of phishing attacks. Every link in every email is scanned in real time against multiple URL reputation databases. This scanning occurs not only the first time the link is clicked, but every time, to prevent cases where site content changes between clicks. Confidential information is protected and users are prevented from introducing malware and viruses onto their systems and into the larger corporate network.

Each time a user clicks on a suspicious link, they are prompted with a warning before they continue onto the suspected phishing site.

By providing feedback to users about the threats associated with such links, employees have a higher level of awareness, and a better ability to assess the risks of such email threats. Your entire organization will:

• Mitigate against the risk of phishing attacks, spear phishing threats, and whale phishing vulnerabilities without requiring any additional outlay of IT infrastructure or overhead money.
• Instantly and seamlessly protect users against attacks on any device anywhere, without any interruption of service.
• Control the service easily through a single unified web-based console as a part of DuoCircle’s Advanced Threat Defense Suite.

DuoCircle Provides a Two-Pronged Approach to Protect Against Phishing

Two different types of attack are commonly attempted in a phishing-based threat: malicious links and weaponized attachments. DuoCircle Advanced Threat Defense protects against both.

Link Click Protection scans each URL clicked against multiple URL reputation databases for the most up-to-date protection possible. This scan is conducted at every click before the site is opened in the user’s browser.

If the link is suspicious, the user is warned to that effect and the site is blocked. Safe sites are opened normally, of course, to assure that no interruption to legitimate business occurs. Just because a site is safe the first time it is scanned doesn’t guarantee that it will be safe on subsequent clicks, so every site is scanned every time a link to it is clicked.

Wholesale protection of this kind is the key to providing a much higher degree of security than trying to identify particular attackers or individual phishing “signatures.”

You simply cannot afford to be unprotected from phishing scams. DuoCircle provides the protection your organization needs to defend itself.
