Ericom Shield phishing protection delivers a safe browsing experience that protects users from credential theft as well as malware attacks. It empowers security administrators to pre-select responses to suspected phishing attack based on the threat probability level of the attack and organizational policies. For instance, a warning requiring user acknowledgement may be issued before a user can continue to the suspected phishing site. Alternatively, users may be allowed to proceed to the website using ‘Read-Only’ mode, preventing them from entering information on the website via their keyboard or the browser’s copy-paste function. It thus saves organizations from the errors of users who might otherwise be tricked into providing personal information. As a third alternative, the system may block access to a suspicious site altogether.

“Phishing attacks are fast becoming an industry plague. The sheer volume of both manually launched attacks and automated attacks launched via bots is growing exponentially” said Daniel Miller, Senior Director of Product Marketing. “With an average lifespan of only six hours, phishing websites are nearly impossible to detect and map, which is why even robust popular browsers like Firefox, Chrome and IE/Edge simply cannot provide sufficient protection.” Miller added: “Ericom Shield’s ability to neutralize this threat while empowering users to continue browsing the Internet as needed is an important step in further securing the digital workspace.”
