About Anti-Phishing protection

One of the tasks of Kaspersky Security is to filter out phishing threats and links to websites with malware from messages passing through the mail server. Phishing applies to messages with phishing URLs, containing images or text that could trick users into disclosing confidential data to fraudsters.

The Anti-Phishing engine scans messages for phishing threats and links to websites with malware. The Anti-Phishing engine analyzes the message content (including the Subject header) and attached files.

Based on the Anti-Phishing scan results, the application assigns the message one of the Anti-Phishing scan statuses and adds a status tag at the beginning of the message subject (Subject field). You can configure the message status tag in the rule settings.

Depending on the status assigned, the application performs actions in accordance with the message processing rule settings. You can specify actions to be performed by the application on messages with a certain status. The default action taken by the application on messages is Skip, with messages delivered to users unchanged.

The Anti-Phishing engine is enabled by default. If required, you can disable the Anti-Phishing engine or disable Anti-Phishing scanning for any rule.
