Product Overview: PhishER Plus
PhishER Plus is a robust anti-phishing solution developed by KnowBe4, designed to enhance and automate the detection, prioritization, and mitigation of phishing threats within an organization.
What it Does
PhishER Plus serves as an additional layer of defense against phishing attacks that have bypassed traditional email security filters. It leverages a combination of crowdsourced threat intelligence, AI-driven analysis, and human-curated threat intel to identify and block sophisticated phishing threats before they reach users’ inboxes.
Key Features and Functionality
Global Threat Feed
- PhishER Plus is powered by a unique global threat feed derived from KnowBe4’s network of over 10 million highly trained end-users and their PhishER Administrators. This feed is triple-validated to ensure high accuracy.
PhishML – Machine Learning Module
- PhishML is an AI-model trained on phishing emails that other filters have missed. It analyzes messages and generates confidence values to help prioritize and categorize emails as Clean, Spam, or Threat.
Human-Curated Threat Intelligence
- The solution benefits from human-curated threat intelligence provided by KnowBe4’s Threat Research Lab, ensuring that the most dangerous and real-time social engineering attacks are identified and addressed.
PhishRIP – Email Quarantine Feature
- PhishRIP integrates with Microsoft Office 365 to remove, inoculate, and protect against email threats. It searches and quarantines similar messages across all users’ mailboxes, allowing for customizable actions such as removal, quarantine, or restoration of messages.
Automated Prioritization and Incident Response
- PhishER Plus automates the prioritization of reported messages, helping Security Operations Center (SOC) teams respond to the most critical threats quickly and efficiently. It also cuts through inbox noise by grouping and categorizing emails based on common attributes like subject lines, senders, attachments, and URLs.
Integration with Phish Alert Button
- The solution integrates with KnowBe4’s Phish Alert Button, allowing users to report suspicious emails which are then automatically analyzed and prioritized by PhishER Plus.
Key Benefits
- Block Email Threats: Automatically block phishing threats that bypass other email security filters.
- Isolate Malicious Emails: Quarantine malicious emails that have already bypassed mail filters.
- Save Time and Money: Reduce the volume of remediation efforts handled by the SOC team.
- Efficient Incident Response: Quickly identify and respond to the most dangerous threats and widespread phishing attacks.
PhishER Plus is designed to supercharge an organization’s email security defenses, providing a proactive and comprehensive approach to mitigating phishing threats.
