company overview
Pixm has developed a real-time phishing detection platform designed to prevent online security threats at the “point of click.”
The company's platform utilizes AI-driven brand authorization technology.
Pixm’s solution is ‘in-browser”, meaning Pixm analyzes links as they are accessed by the browser; this approach offers wider protection (vs current email-based authenticators) as any link accessed by the browser is subject to verification.
