Click-Time Protection

Avanan's virtual inline technology provides phishing protection for emails after they have been scanned by Microsoft servers, but before they reach the user's mailbox.

New attacks became more sophisticated and are able to generate phishing campaigns such that the phishing website they link to does not have any known bad reputation, sometimes for hours and days after the emails are sent.

Click-Time Protection replaces links in the email's body and attachments. The replaced links point to the Avanan inspection services, so that every time a user clicks on a link, the website behind the link is inspected to ensure it is not a phishing website.

Click-Time Protection uses these security engines for inspection.

• URL Reputation - Checks if the URL is known to be malicious or holds any malicious references.

• URL Emulation - Emulates the website to detect zero-day phishing websites.

Benefits

• Most Up-to-Date Intelligence - Inspecting links when the user clicks on the URL allows Avanan to inspect the URL based on the latest inspection intelligence and software capabilities.

• Protection against zero-day phishing websites - Inspecting links when the user clicks on the URL allows Avanan to follow the user into the website. Click-Time Protection then emulates the website to expose hidden Phishing indicators. So the Phishing websites that are not known to be malicious are also flagged.

• Pointing out the users that clicked the malicious URL - Click-Time Protection forensics allows administrators to detect the users that require further education and training to avoid clicking on malicious links.

Note:

Click-Time Protection is available only for Office 365 Mail and Gmail.
