Time-of-click protection against ransomware, malware and phishing – Halon

Written by Szofia Jakobsson | Sep 10, 2017 10:00:00 PM

Time-of-click protection adds an extra layer of security to protect email users from accessing malicious content. Attacks including malware, ransomware and phishing are becoming more common and more sophisticated with every day, along with users keeping more sensitive information.

With an additional time-of-click protection, Halon will classify links in email every time it’s clicked, before allowing or denying the user to visit it. This means that if the scammer waits two minutes or two months with infecting the site, the user will still be protected when he or she chooses to click the link. It’s the extra layer of security that won’t allow you to visit infected websites by way of a link in an email protected by Halon.
