Domino Phishing Removal Tool: Phishing removal and message recall email tool for Notes
Protect your network from ransomware! Central control for risk aversion.
  • Protect your network from hackers (malware, ransomware, hijacking) if phishing email slips undetected into user mailboxes. And it can be your insurance policy to prevent possible legal disasters costing millions of dollars, for example, as seen with incidents in the media and automotive industry. If central control and risk aversion is important to your company you should be using this tool.
  • Allows IT help desk and Domino administrators to (1) remove phishing email sent by an external sender from all mailboxes, and (2) recall internally sent email. For example, if multiple users receive a suspicious or malicious email from an external sender it can be recalled in a single click. And if an internal user sends a confidential email to the wrong person, or a terminated employee sends a malicious email it can be recalled in a single click. It can also be configured to allow end users to recall their own messages.
