Vade for Office 365 is the only email security solution that sits inside Office 365, thanks to its native integration with the Microsoft API. Powered by artificial intelligence, the solution provides best-in-class protection against advanced email threats, including phishing, spear phishing, malware, and even insider attacks. In this two-minute video, we highlight Vade for Office 365’s real-time phishing detection capabilities.
Real-time phishing detection: how it works
Phishing attacks impersonate popular brands, such as Microsoft, PayPal and Bank of America. The goal is to trick recipients into sharing personal information, such as passwords and credit card numbers. To most users, these emails and web pages are indistinguishable from the real thing.
That’s where Vade for Office 365 comes in. Our solution performs a comprehensive analysis of the origin, content, and context of each email to block advanced phishing attacks. By default, phishing emails are filtered into the existing Outlook Junk folder. Your admin can also create custom folders or delete these threats altogether.
Many hackers send emails with clean URLs to bypass email filters and then redirect these links to malicious pages. To detect these advanced attacks, machine learning algorithms perform real-time analysis of nearly 50 features of the URL and page content, with no latency to users. These models have been trained using threat intelligence from 500 million mailboxes and 6 million daily URL scans. Moreover, the number of features is optimized frequently using an advanced Recursive Feature Elimination Algorithm to ensure best-in-class accuracy, with zero false positives.
If a phishing page is detected at the time of click, the solution displays a warning to the user. The text and logo can be easily customized to reassure users they’re being protected by their IT department. In addition, admins can receive real-time phishing detection alerts when users click on phishing links. If they proceeded to the malicious page despite the warning, you can offer educational content from Vade to help correct this high-risk behavior.
