Anti-Phishing protection assists in protecting against phishing attacks. Any links that are contained within a message that has been identified as a phishing message are disabled. A warning message is shown when the phishing message is accessed. The first time a disabled link within the phishing message is selected a dismissible dialog box is displayed containing information about how to enable links in the message. After the user dismisses the dialog, clicking on a disabled link causes the warning message to flash drawing the user's attention to the potential severity of the problem. The links may be enabled by the user by selecting the warning message and choosing the appropriate option. Once the user enables the links, future displays of the message show the links as enabled.

Various embodiments of the invention provide solutions (including inter alia, systems, methods and software) for dealing with online fraud. Some embodiments function to access and/or obtain information from (and/or receive data from) a data source; the data might, for example, indicate a possible instance of online fraud. Certain embodiments, therefore, can be configured to analyze the data, e.g., to determine whether the data indicate a likely instance of online fraud. Such instances may be further investigated, and/or a response may be initiated. Data sources can include, without limitation, web pages, email messages, online chat sessions, domain zone files, newsgroup (and/or posting thereto), etc. Data obtained from the data sources can include, without limitation, suspect domain registrations, uniform resources locators, references to trademarks, advertisements, etc.

Described systems and methods enable a swift and efficient detection of fraudulent Internet domains, i.e., domains used to host or distribute fraudulent electronic documents such as fraudulent webpages and electronic messages. Some embodiments use a reverse IP analysis to select a set of fraud candidates from among a set of domains hosted at the same IP address as a known fraudulent domain. The candidate set is further filtered according to domain registration data. Online content hosted at each filtered candidate domain is further analyzed to identify truly fraudulent domains. A security module may then prevent users from accessing a content of such domains.

Briefly, systems and methods for managing Internet of Things (IoT) devices provide platforms featuring an architecture for user and device authentication as well as IoT system self-healing.

The present disclosure provides techniques for calculating an entity's cybersecurity risk based on identified relationships between the entity and one or more vendors. Customer/vendor relationships may impact the cybersecurity risk for each of the parties involved because a security compromise of a downstream or upstream provider can lead to a compromise of multiple other companies. For example, if organization A uses B (e.g., a cloud service provider) to store files, and B is compromised, this may lead to organization A being compromised (e.g., the files organization A stored using B may have been compromised by the breach of B's cybersecurity). Embodiments of the present disclosure further provide a technique for calculating a cybersecurity risk score for an organization based on identified customer/vendor relationships.

Techniques for allowing client devices to securely request services from remote servers without using a reproducible token on the client are disclosed. In an embodiment, the host-portion of a destination address, in whole or in part, is used as an authentication token to identify an end-user, to be a selector to retrieve a security or other policy, or to provide device-specific or user-specific content. In an embodiment, repeated unauthorized attempts to access services are monitored to allow a human or artificial network agent to take appropriate defensive action against attacks.

A method for overcoming intermittent, temporary, or other fetching failures by using multiple attempts for retrieving a content from a web server to a client device is disclosed. The URL fetching may use direct or non-direct fetching schemes, or a combination thereof. The non-direct fetching method may use intermediate devices, such as proxy server, Data-Center proxy server, tunnel devices, or any combination thereof. Upon sensing a failure of a fetching action, the action is repeated using the same or different parameters or attributes, such as by using different intermediate devices, selected based on different parameters or attributes, such as different countries. The repetitions are limited to a pre-defined maximum number or attempts. The fetching attempts may be performed by the client device, by an intermediate device in a non-direct fetching scheme, or a combination thereof. Various fetching schemes may be used sequentially until the content is retrieved.

The present invention relates to a method and system for managing an impersonated or forged/tampered email. To this end, the present invention provides a method and a system for managing an impersonated or forged/tampered email, the method comprising: a step in which, when an email is received at an email account of a recipient email server through a network, a system for managing an impersonated or forged/tampered email, positioned between the network and the recipient email server, generates verification request information including details of the received email and a sender email address and transmits same to the sender email address of the received email; a step in which, when the verification request information is provided, a sender email server of the sender email address checks if the sender email address included in the verification request information is valid, and returns an error code to the system for managing the impersonated or forged/tampered email when the sender mail address is not valid; and a step in which, when the error code is returned, system for managing the impersonated or forged/tampered email blocks the received email.

Aspects of the disclosure relate to dynamically controlling access to linked content in electronic communications. A computing platform may receive, from a user computing device, a request for a uniform resource locator associated with an email message and may evaluate the request using one or more isolation criteria. Based on evaluating the request, the computing platform may identify that the request meets at least one isolation condition associated with the one or more isolation criteria. In response to identifying that the request meets the at least one isolation condition associated with the one or more isolation criteria, the computing platform may initiate a browser mirroring session with the user computing device to provide the user computing device with limited access to a resource corresponding to the uniform resource locator associated with the email message.

A method and apparatus for analyzing a URL included in contents and displaying the analyzed result is provided. The method includes detecting a URL from contents, analyzing the URL, and displaying the analyzed result.
