A new configurable banner for emails containing restricted links to sign document digitally.

Smart Banners are customizable banners added to emails that are not considered malicious, to make users aware of suspicious elements in their emails, as well as to educate them on company procedures.

The Check Point threat research team picked up on a spike in attacks that include links with restricted access that users need to click to sign documents digitally. The restricted access prevents email security solutions from scanning and emulating the website the user will be exposed to.

Harmony Email & Collaboration now blocks most of these attacks using its advanced AI.

As an added security measure, we now introduce a new Smart Banner that detects these types of requests and alerts the user that the link cannot be inspected.
You can see the banner, enable and customize it under User Interaction > Smart Banners

This banner is automatically activated for customers that opted to enable newly introduced Smart Banners.

If you wish to enable all future Smart Banners in your portal, go to User Interaction > Smart Banners > Settings and check the Automatically enable newly introduced banners box.

Note – this feature is being deployed gradually. You should see the banner in your portal in the next 14 days.
