    Description/Abstract:
    Phishing Emails are a problem as ubiquitous as email itself. According to Digital Guardian, over 90% of all cyber attacks now start with a phishing message (Guest, 2017). Additionally, with over 12% of targets clicking on any given phishing message (Verizon, 13), and 95% of all attacks on enterprise networks begin as a result of spear phishing, it is critical to not only know who clicks on these links, but also when a link was clicked. While there are many tools trying to prevent the message from ever getting in, only Hypersafe will enable instant visibility and scoping when a message inevitably gets through. This is accomplished by intercepting all inbound messages to a target’s email system, and then scanning messages for spam and malicious content, and then replacing every link contained within the message with a custom link that points to the Hypersafe Link Resolution Service. When a user clicks on a link, they first go through the Link Resolution Service to ensure that the link has not been identified as a phishing or otherwise malicious message. If the link is clean, then the user is seamlessly redirected to their intended target. If the link is malicious, the user is redirected to an education and awareness page, thus hindering the attack. In order to ensure reliable service, Hypersafe is built atop the proven Amazon Web Services Platform to enable best in class availability, scalability, and security. The email processing and link resolution services are serverless, enabling Hypersafe to scale without any administrative burden and also cost very little to operate. Finally, there is a web administration portal that administrators can use to interact with the service to manually flag links, senders, and domains as malicious as well as view statistics on who has clicked on a certain link. By taking the uncertainty of email away from the user, Hypersafe will be an invaluable partner in each customer’s defense toolkit.
