What is URL Defense?
Advanced Malware Detection
We use sophisticated techniques to evaluate advanced threats that are traditionally missed by signature-based and reputation-based solutions.
These techniques include:
- Malicious List Check: Check for emerging campaigns and known new malicious websites.
- Code Analysis Check: Check for suspicious behavior, obfuscated scripts, malicious code snippets, and redirects to other malicious sites.
Key Benefit: Cloud scale and elasticity for malware analysis with global and immediate benefit to all organizations for emerging campaigns, with proprietary technology to defeat malware through counter-evasion techniques.
Real-time Dynamic Analysis
We provide protection on any device, at any time, from any location, by following the email and checking for the URL destination’s safety in real-time.
A frequent technique used by hackers has been to drive recipients to click on a link directing them to a website which is initially harmless but turns malicious after a period of time.
- Protects users and organizations on and off the corporate VPN across all devices including Mobile, Tablet and Laptops.
- Architected to help comply with existing corporate security controls and acceptable use policies by redirecting the user’s browser to safe destinations rather than acting like a proxy service.
Key Benefit: Enables security controls to persist, even if users are off the corporate network and bypassing on-premise security controls.
