PIXM Phishing Protection

What it does

PIXM Phishing Protection scans each web page you open in Chrome and uses computer vision to spot sites that imitate a known company from an unauthorized address. It is aimed at individuals and organizations that want an extra check against phishing links from email, chat or social media.

Key features

• Visually analyzes pages at the moment you click to detect brand impersonation
• Blocks pages identified as phishing before you can submit details to them
• Checks links opened from email, social media or collaboration tools alike
• Checks passwords you enter against known data breaches and alerts you to exposure
• Can be rolled out across an organization through remote management tools

Use cases

• Opening links from unexpected emails or direct messages
• Adding phishing protection to company browsers managed by IT
• Getting warned when a password you use has appeared in a breach

Getting started

Install the extension and it starts scanning pages automatically as you browse, with no setup needed. Organizations can deploy it to managed browsers through their RMM system.

Good to know

The extension analyzes the pages you visit in order to work, so it needs broad access to your browsing. It adds a layer of protection but does not replace care with suspicious links or other security tools.
