What is phishing detection?

Phishing detection identifies messages that attempt to trick users into revealing sensitive information or clicking malicious links.

Modern systems analyze URLs, wording patterns, unexpected attachments, and sender impersonation attempts.

Many providers use time of click protection, where clicking a link first routes you through their own scanning system. If the site is malicious, you receive a warning instead of being forwarded.

It is the lookout in the crow’s nest spotting suspicious vessels long before they reach the harbor.
