FAQs
Q. What is cyber risk?

Q. What is a cyber attack?
A. A cyber attack is an attempt by a hacker to damage or destroy a computer network or system.
Q. What happens when I fall victim to a cyber attack?
A. Reputational damage, compromise of sensitive data (financial, proprietary, etc.) and disclosure of personal identifiable information (PII)
Q. Does Paladin read my email?
A. No. An automated phishing filter scans email as it is being read looking for known malicious links and language-patterns that indicate a high likelihood of malicious intent.
Q. Does Paladin store my emails or any information contained in my emails?
A. No, unless you select the option to report an email as phishing. In this case, the email is analyzed for malicious attack patterns and to build defenses around their behavior. If the email is determined as not malicious, it will be deleted from Paladin's systems.
Q. Does Paladin actively monitor Alliant's browsing and/or can you see information entered into browser fields?
A. No. Paladin scans website URLs, not your activity on them. The only information retained is the count of dangerous links that have been blocked and instances where users pushed through our warnings.
