ProtectLink is an advanced feature that analyzes the URLs contained in e-mails you receive, at any time after you've clicked on a link. Its aim is to check URLs and identify phishing attacks, in order to block access to phishing sites and protect you against any inadvertent disclosure of sensitive information.
How it works
URL personalization
When ProtectLink is activated (for the domain or a filter group), every link contained in an e-mail is personalized as soon as it arrives in your inbox. This means that every URL is rewritten in a personalized form, adding an extra layer of security.
Link analysis
Link analysis takes place in real time, i.e. at the precise moment you click on a link in the e-mail. Even if the e-mail was received some time ago, the URL will be checked at the moment of click, ensuring constant, proactive protection.
Suspicious link detection
To offer you optimum protection, ProtectLink uses artificial intelligence and machine learning algorithms to detect potentially malicious links or links associated with known phishing sites.
Warning
If a potentially dangerous link is identified, ProtectLink will immediately inform you of the potential risk by blocking access to the dangerous page. This enables you to prevent security risks and protect your personal information.
