We are using our Packetshaper  (Packetlogic) to redirect users to a landing
page on campus alerting them they have clicked on a phishing link. It's a
manual process, but I set up a rule and only need to add the url. Works
pretty well, plus I see how many hits the rule gets.

Greetings!

 

I've been asked to investigate what other institutions are doing to block
access to URL's at the edge (i.e. block connections when people click on a
URL, despite virtual hosting or fastflux DNS).

 

Feel free to respond privately.  Thanks.

 

Best,

Cathy
