Repacket Protections help secure your organization with intelligent controls against phishing attacks and session hijacking attempts.

​
Overview

The Protections module provides advanced protection capabilities that you can layer on top of any traffic.

Phishing Prevention

Detect and block sophisticated phishing attempts using AI and known-bad sites

Session Protection

Prevent session hijacking by encrypting cookies for critical applications

​
How It Works

The Protections module operates through a unified rule builder that allows administrators to apply specific protection types to defined traffic categories or applications.

​
AI Phishing Scan

You should enable a “Block” rule for the “Phishing” category in your Firewall rules alongside this protection.

Repacket can be configured to run an “AI Phishing Scan” on webpages - detecting and blocking previously unknown phishing websites, like spearphishing.

We highly recommend applying this to the “Uncategorized” category.

You can read more about this feature on our AI Phishing Scan documentation.

​
Session Protection

Session Protection is a Repacket Protection which allows you to encrypt the session cookies within your browser.

This allows you to prevent malware or XSS attacks from stealing your session cookies for use on other devices — Repacket cookies can only be used on the device they were created on!

Repacket provides pre-configured session protection for popular services like Google, Okta, GitHub, and others.

This feature can also be used to block cookies, for instance, in the case of ad tracking cookies.

You can read more about this feature on our Session Protection documentation.
