## 🛠️ How It Works
|
||
|
||
When you visit a website or open an email, Enterprise App Protection **automatically scans all links** and determines if they are safe:
|
||
|
||
1️⃣ **Identifies mentions of enterprise applications** (like "Microsoft 365" or "DocuSign") in links.
|
||
2️⃣ **Checks if links point to the official domain** or an **impersonation site**.
|
||
3️⃣ **Uses Google Safe Browsing API** to detect additional phishing and malware threats.
|
||
4️⃣ **Monitors dynamic content in Outlook Web, Teams, and SharePoint**, ensuring links added after page load are also checked.
|
||
5️⃣ **Displays clear warnings** if an impersonation attempt is detected.
|
||
|
||
If a phishing attempt is found, a **warning is shown directly below the link**, alerting you before you click.
|
||
