Phishing Shield
Phishing Shield is an extension for Chrome and Microsoft Edge that analyzes every page the user visits and stops the phishing that email filters and traditional MFA cannot see: cloned login pages, adversary-in-the-middle kits that relay the real session, malicious QR codes and ClickFix attacks that ask the user to paste commands. This section serves whoever administers and deploys it and whoever uses it.

How it fits together
Section titled “How it fits together”The extension is deployed centrally with group policies, Intune or another device management system and managed from the Phishing Shield admin console: licenses, organization domains, blocked events and metrics. Once deployed, the user activates it once with their license and from then on it works in the background without interrupting browsing.
- No network changes. It uses no proxies and does not decrypt TLS: the analysis happens on the device itself.
- Chrome, Edge and Chromium browsers. A lightweight extension on the browser you already use.
- It sees what email filters miss. It analyzes the page in the browser, where the attack is, even if the address is not on any list.
- Blocking and logging. When it detects a threat, it blocks the page, warns the user and records the attempt for the organization.
