PhishRIP better protects users against suspicious email conten
London, UK: KnowBe4 has announced it has expanded the scope of its PhishRIP feature, making it newly available on G Suite software. PhishRIP is a PhishER email quarantine feature that helps remove, inoculate and protect against email threats faster.
This new feature is another line of defence against malicious emails. Technical controls are unreliable when it comes to filtering out malicious emails that come into a user’s inbox, as they do not catch everything. Mimecast notes filters are missing 12% of unwanted emails.
This email defence line is now one element stronger, as PhishRIP secondly reviews user-reported messages by searching and optionally quarantining other similar messages across all users’ inboxes within an organisation. This leads to further analysis, quarantine or permanent deletion by the incident response team.
“A feature like PhishRIP benefits organisations greatly, as it decreases the chances of malicious email content circulating amongst unsuspecting employees,” said Stu Sjouwerman, CEO, KnowBe4. “Now that it’s available for G Suite, even more organisations will be able to take advantage of this feature to help keep inboxes clean organisation-wide.”
