Anti-Phishing

Web Threat Protection checks links to see if they belong to phishing web addresses. This helps prevent phishing attacks. A phishing attack can be disguised, for example, as an email message supposedly from your bank with a link to the official website of the bank. By clicking the link, you go to an exact copy of the bank's website and can even see its real web address in the browser, even though you are on a counterfeit site. From this point forward, all of your actions on the site are tracked and can be used to steal your money.

Because links to phishing websites may be received not only in an email message but also from other sources such as messengers, the Web Threat Protection component monitors attempts to access a phishing website at the web traffic scan level and blocks access to such websites. Lists of phishing URLs are included with the Kaspersky Endpoint Security distribution kit.

You can configure Anti-Phishing only in Administration Console (MMC) or the local interface of the application. You cannot configure Anti-Phishing in Web Console or Cloud Console. By default, Anti-Phishing with heuristic analysis is enabled.
