Mailscreen Fraud Protection - Defending Your Organization Against Phishing
The increase in email fraud, phishing and pharming scams each year is causing unsuspecting users to become victims of identity theft and organizations to be faced with the potential for financial and security disclosure. Furthermore, fraud is damaging the reputation of email as a safe and secure way of collaborating.
Phishing attacks employ common spam techniques to distribute official-looking fraudulent emails designed to deceive consumers into disclosing their credit card numbers, bank account information, Social Security numbers, passwords, or other sensitive information. Mailscreen specifically programs its multi-layered spam filtering framework to identify and block phishing emails from inbound traffic.
With Mailscreen Fraud Protection, organizations can rest assured that their users are protected from fraudulent phishing emails which attempt to dupe unsuspecting recipients into releasing personal or business-related information.
Available as part of our comprehensive email defense solution, Fraud Protection is critical to overall network protection.

No match for multi-layers
Primary to the effectiveness of the Mailscreen Email Defense Service is our Stacked Classification Framework® spam detection system, which is powered by patented technology and combines the most effective spam-fighting filters and techniques in the industry. Using filters which include Premium Anti-Spam Multi-Language, Statistical Filtering, Industry and Proprietary Heuristics, Reputation Analysis, URL filtering, Sender Policy Framework (SPF)/Sender ID, and Reputation-based RBL filtering, the Framework dynamically calculates and "votes" on the probability that a specific email is fraudulent.
Reeling in the phishing scams
In addition to relying on Mailscreen’s multi-layered filtering, businesses can protect their employees from unwittingly releasing sensitive information to phishers by enabling Mailscreen ClickProtect feature. With ClickProtect, businesses can choose to enable and disable URL click-throughs from email, or display a warning message before allowing or denying the click. Setting specific policies for URLs and warning users before they click on embedded links can greatly prevent employees from accessing fraudulent websites and becoming victims of phishing scams.
Putting unwanted email in its place
When Mailscreen filters your incoming email, you have options on how it will be handled. Messages that are identified as spam or infected with viruses may be stored in an external quarantine, accessible by systems administrators. Using the Mailscreen Control Console, administrators can easily create policies around how email quarantine is handled - including end-user responsibilities. With established parameters, employees can manage their quarantine via regular emailed Mailscreen Spam Quarantine Reports.
