How Real-Time Alerts Work in TechOwl Shield's Services
As soon as our machine learning algorithms identify a potential
phishing email, rogue website, or app, TechOwl Shield's Real-Time
Alerts kick in. Administrators, security teams, and even individual
users receive immediate notifications via email, SMS, or in-app
messages. These alerts contain vital information about the threat,
including its origin and nature, empowering you to make informed
decisions swiftly.
Real-World Examples Where Immediate Notification Made a Difference
Case 1: The High-Stakes Financial Transaction
A financial institution using
TechOwl Shield received an immediate alert when an email, seemingly
from the CEO, instructed the finance team to transfer a significant
sum to an external account. Recognizing the email as a phishing
attempt, the transaction was halted, and the incident was
investigated. Had the alert been delayed, the institution could have
faced substantial financial loss.
Case 2: The Impersonated Customer Support
A well-known e-commerce platform
was alerted by TechOwl Shield when a rogue website mimicking their
customer support page was detected. Thanks to the real-time alert,
the security team promptly took down the fake site, thereby
preventing customer data from being phished.
Case 3: The Malicious Mobile App
TechOwl Shield's real-time alert
notified a gaming company about a rogue app on a third-party app
store that mimicked their popular game but was laden with malware.
Swift action led to the removal of the app, thus averting potential
brand damage and security risks to users who might have downloaded
it.
