  • Patent number: 12111941
    Abstract: Aspects of the disclosure relate to dynamically controlling access to linked content in electronic communications. A computing platform may receive, from a user computing device, a request for a uniform resource locator associated with an email message and may evaluate the request using one or more isolation criteria. Based on evaluating the request, the computing platform may identify that the request meets at least one isolation condition associated with the one or more isolation criteria. In response to identifying that the request meets the at least one isolation condition associated with the one or more isolation criteria, the computing platform may initiate a browser mirroring session with the user computing device to provide the user computing device with limited access to a resource corresponding to the uniform resource locator associated with the email message.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 12105816
    Abstract: Aspects of the disclosure relate to dynamically controlling access to linked content in electronic communications. A computing platform may receive, from a user computing device, a request for a uniform resource locator associated with an email message. Subsequently, the computing platform may identify that the uniform resource locator associated with the email message corresponds to a potentially-malicious site. In response to identifying that the uniform resource locator associated with the email message corresponds to the potentially-malicious site, the computing platform may determine a risk profile associated with the request received from the user computing device. Based on the risk profile associated with the request, the computing platform may execute an isolation method to provide limited access to the uniform resource locator associated with the email message.

  • Patent number: 12058107
    Abstract: A message-hold decision maker system used with an electronic mail processing system that processes electronic messages for a protected computer network improves the electronic mail processing system's performance by increasing the throughput performance of the system. The improvements are achieved by providing an electronic mail processing gateway with additional logic that makes fast and intelligent decisions on whether to hold, block, allow, or sandbox electronic messages in view of potential threats such as viruses or URL-based threats. A message hold decision maker uses current and stored information from a plurality of specialized classification engines to quickly make the decisions. In some examples, the message hold decision maker will instruct an email gateway to hold an electronic mail message while the classification engines perform further analysis.
