Gone Phishing

The #1 Anti-Phishing Solution

In today's business environment, email is the primary mode of communication. Emails can be managed in various ways—shared, archived, multi-user, cloud-based, or on-premises (though increasingly rare). This flexibility allows seamless business communication from both mobile devices and desktops.

Are Email Threats New?

Email usage has evolved, but the threat of phishing remains a persistent issue. Early email users often encountered phishing attempts, such as fake messages from "bosses" or fraudulent offers from "Nigerian princes." Without IT support, individuals manually moved these to Junk or blocked sender domains. This annoyance spurred the development of phishing filters to automatically detect and filter out suspicious emails.

As email threats evolved, so did phishing filters. New attacks emerged weekly, with malware and scams becoming more sophisticated. Phishing filters required constant updates to keep up with these evolving threats, including address spoofing and other attack vectors.

The Modern Email Threat Landscape

Today, phishing attacks have become highly sophisticated. Advanced phishing emails often use fake sender domains and exhibit minimal suspicious attributes, easily bypassing standard phishing filters. These attacks serve as entry points for users to click on convincing fake websites or introduce malware, leading to account compromise and data theft.

Traditional solutions often struggle with zero-day attacks—new, unknown threats. They rely on databases of known threats, making them less effective against new malware. PhishTitan, however, employs AI Predictive Analysis to examine behavioural features of emails and attachments. This approach allows PhishTitan to detect and block zero-day threats in real time.

URL Rewriting and Rerouting in Real Time

PhishTitan rewrites and checks embedded URLs. Safe URLs allow user navigation, while unsafe ones redirect to a blocking page, preventing any potential threat. This feature ensures that users are protected from malicious sites, as harmful links are intercepted by the filter.

While some solutions may block legitimate links, PhishTitan boasts the lowest false-positive rate in the market, ensuring that fewer legitimate emails are mistakenly flagged.

PhishTitan is easy to use, simple to integrate, and cost-effective. It’s the best choice for securing your email service and protecting your organization from cyber threats.
