As your organization works to improve information security management, URL analysis can help to mitigate attacks from a quickly evolving threat landscape.
Malicious links in email and attachments have long been a favorite weapon of cyber criminals. Clicking on the wrong link can launch a malware attack, download a virus or take users to a malicious website. Consequently, many email security systems have been put in place to provide URL protection by using URL analysis to check links as emails are received and blocking access to suspicious URLs.
To circumvent URL analysis, hackers will now often send email with links that are initially benign and that only become malicious at a later date. This allows dangerous email to slip by an email virus checker, and to become a threat when a user clicks on a link several days later or forwards the email to a colleague within the organization.
To truly provide advanced malware protection, you need URL analysis for every link on every click, no matter when an email was received. That's exactly what you get with Mimecast Targeted Threat Protection with URL Protect.
