Reflex Security Adds Phishing Protection to Interceptor™ Intrusion Prevention Solution
ATLANTA -- January 5, 2005 -- Reflex Security, a leading provider of intrusion prevention solutions, today announced that it has extended the
capabilities of its Interceptor™ intrusion prevention solution to protect organizations from phishing attacks.
Phishing is a rapidly growing form of online identity theft that uses email fraud from an authentic looking source, such as a bank, credit card
company or online retailer, and directs users to a fraudulent web site with text, logos and web address that all appear legitimate. Users are
typically asked to verify immediately personal financial information, such as credit card numbers, social security numbers and passwords, so
as to avoid adverse consequences.
"Banks and other financial services organizations continue to be overwhelmed by phishing attacks as security teams attempt to keep their
customers’ data safe from an increasingly sophisticated threat," said Hezi Moore, chief technology officer, Reflex Security. "By blocking phishing
attacks at the network level, organizations gain efficiency with a centrally managed solution that proactively protects businesses and users
from credit card fraud, identity theft and financial loss."
The Reflex Interceptor™ protects organizations against phishing attacks through multiple detection and prevention algorithms. The Interceptor™
uses a dynamic blacklist of known phishing web sites to block email containing links to known phishing websites. An advanced algorithm compares key
words, IP addresses and web site links to validate that the target site is a legitimate site and not a fraudulent site.
