Ericom Shield^® Safeguards Organizations from Sophisticated
Scams that Socially Engineer Human Error, including Business Email
Compromise (BEC)

SAN FRANCISCO–(BUSINESS WIRE)–lt;a href=”https://twitter.com/hashtag/CyberSecurity?src=hash” target=”_blank”gt;#CyberSecuritylt;/agt;–Ericom Software, a global leader in securing and connecting the digital
workspace, today announced that its remote browser isolation solution,
Ericom Shield, now provides intelligent protection from phishing,
today’s most pressing cyber threat. The latest version of Ericom Shield
uses sophisticated algorithms, URL filtering capabilities and smart
business logic to eradicate phishing, BECs, and other social engineering
attacks before they can impact the user and the organization.

Ericom Shield phishing protection delivers a safe browsing experience
that protects users from credential theft as well as malware attacks. It
empowers security administrators to pre-select responses to suspected
phishing attack based on the threat probability level of the attack and
organizational policies. For instance, a warning requiring user
acknowledgement may be issued before a user can continue to the
suspected phishing site. Alternatively, users may be allowed to proceed
to the website using ‘Read-Only’ mode, preventing them from entering
information on the website via their keyboard or the browser’s
copy-paste function. It thus saves organizations from the errors of
users who might otherwise be tricked into providing personal
information. As a third alternative, the system may block access to a
suspicious site altogether.

“Phishing attacks are fast becoming an industry plague. The sheer volume
of both manually launched attacks and automated attacks launched via
bots is growing exponentially” said Daniel Miller, Senior Director of
Product Marketing. “With an average lifespan of only six hours, phishing
websites are nearly impossible to detect and map, which is why even
robust popular browsers like Firefox, Chrome and IE/Edge simply cannot
provide sufficient protection.” Miller added: “Ericom Shield’s ability
to neutralize this threat while empowering users to continue browsing
the Internet as needed is an important step in further securing the
digital workspace.”

Ericom is continuing to broaden the capabilities of Ericom Shield by
enabling safe browsing both as a product and as a cloud service. With
the growing demand for mixed delivery models, Ericom is expanding its
partnerships and industry ecosystem to extend remote browser isolation
technology to the masses.

Ericom will be showcasing Ericom Shield at the RSA Conference 2019 in
San Francisco on March 4-8. RSA attendees can visit Ericom Software at
Booth #6574 in the North Expo or schedule a demo by emailing [email protected].
