Enhancements to Link Protection are now powered by multimodal AI, aiming to strengthen our URL analysis and detection capabilities while performing comprehensive examinations of artifacts using Large Language Models and a specialized, AI-driven sandbox engine. By integrating multimodal AI into Link Protection, we will improve our detection capabilities through a multi-layered approach, enhancing our detection accuracy while also lowering the time and costs related to scanning. For example, the average scan duration will be significantly reduced, enabling us to respond more quickly to potential threats.
You can configure Email Gateway Defense to perform real-time analysis of URLs and domains so that the user is safely redirected to a valid domain or to a Barracuda Networks domain warning of the fraud. Rewritten URLs do not expire and function indefinitely.
