Click-Time Protection Exceptions

Email Security allows administrators to override Check Point detections or prevent link rewriting by defining exceptions to the inspection on replaced links.

Administrators can add URLs and domains to these exceptions list:

  • Allow-list - Even if Check Point finds the website malicious, Email Security allows the user to access the website. However, Email Security replaces the link, and clicking on it is logged into the system.

  • Block-list - Even if Check Point finds the website benign, Email Security blocks the user from accessing it and shows it is blocked.

  • Ignore-list - Email Security does not replace the links to these URLs/domains. Therefore, Email Security does not monitor clicks on these links or track them.

Viewing Click-Time Protection Exceptions

To view the configured Allow-List or Block-List rules:

  1. Access the Email Security Administrator Portal.

  2. Go to Security Settings > Exceptions > Click-Time.

  3. In the drop-down from the top of the page, select the require exception type (Allow-List or Block-List).

    The page shows a table with all file type exceptions and the defined criteria.
