Enter HEAT Shield – a new technology capable of detecting and blocking phishing attacks before they
can infiltrate the enterprise network. It uses novel, AI-based techniques – including computer vision
combined with URL risk scoring and analysis of the web page elements – to accurately determine in real
time if a link being accessed is a phishing site designed to steal the user's credentials.

Elsewhere, HEAT Visibility can be used to perform continual analysis of web traffic, applying AI/ML-
powered classifiers that identify the presence of highly evasive attacks. This delivers timely, actionable
alerts that enable security teams to significantly reduce mean time to detect (MTTD) and mean time to
respond (MTTR) to any highly evasive threats that could be targeting enterprise users.

The availability of such solutions is a positive, and there are other reasons for optimism too. Indeed,
Verizon’s 2022 Data Breach Investigations Report revealed that 82% of firms are at least considering
adopting a zero trust approach to security, with genuine adoption expected to ramp up throughout this
year. However, given the growing threat of browser-based attacks, organisations must address the
associated vulnerabilities as a priority.

The technologies are there. Now is the time to embrace them – to turn the tide, and deliver a secure,
seamless browsing experience for all.
