PhishCompass: Pioneering Real-Time Phish Detection

PhishCompass integrates three advanced AI detectors to scrutinize domain strings, HTML content and visual elements, assessing the phishing threat potential of websites. It is precisely engineered to deliver instant protection, proactively identifying URLs potentially used for phishing.

Utilizing NetSTAR's extensive telemetry from over 1.8 billion endpoints across more than 275 OEM partners, PhishCompass maintains a dynamic database of URLs recognized as phishing threats while also utilizing proprietary AI engines for the purpose of detecting in real-time.

A key feature of PhishCompass is its sophisticated AI-powered image recognition, which identifies hundreds of brands, significantly bolstering its phishing detection capabilities. This technology is crucial in combating phishing threats, particularly those involving brand impersonation.

PhishCompass is designed to integrate seamlessly with NetSTAR's existing solutions, such as inCompass and WebApp Compass, enabling a comprehensive approach to URL categorization and threat analysis.
