Gain full control of URL Protection and ward off phishing attacks and ransomware in real-time.
Threat actors are increasingly using new methods to launch their attacks. In 2023, we expect to see a surge in phishing attacks that take route via legitimate SaaS platforms such as Salesforce instead of traditional email.
These attacks exploit functions such as file upload systems and chat services to delver malicious content. As well as malware-laden files, this includes URLs leading to deceptive phishing sites.
URLs can also be leveraged in advanced ransomware attacks where a malicious payload is attached to a seemingly benign weblink. The payload is a time bomb of sorts and can remain dormant on a website. This inactive camouflage makes the payload seemingly harmless, rendering it undetectable by most threat analysis engines – until it’s activated by the attacker.
This is why we have built our URL Protection two-fold: weblinks are scanned when first uploaded, and then rescanned when a user clicks the link in case a previously inactive threat has slipped in.
Watch our demo video and see the two-fold detection logic in action.
Now, you can switch Click-Time URL Protection on and off as you prefer for the Salesforce functionalities you want, which gives you better control of the digital experience you deliver.
Scan large files for threats without limits – enabled by new, future-proof architecture.
Due to execution limits in Salesforce platform, WithSecure™ Cloud Protection for Salesforce also has limitations when it comes to processing extra-large files. To overcome this, we have introduced a new application type called Connected App. A connected app is an application type that lets external systems to securely access and interact with data and functionalities within the Salesforce platform by leveraging APIs.
Connected App bolsters current file scanning and threat analysis capabilities and empowers us to deliver more advanced protection capabilities in the future.
