Malicious URL Scanner to Identify and Block Threats

Malicious URL scanner to identify and block threats

An organization’s network, email and data centers are vulnerable to malware spread via seemingly benign files or links. This can range from spyware recording every keystroke to ransomware locking an organization out of its own data. As a result, it’s important to bolster protection with robust password strategies, careful email scrutiny and firewall and encryption mechanisms. Malicious URL scanning tools can be an effective complement to these other security practices for additional protection against phishing, malware and other threats that could be hidden within malicious links or file attachments.
