An accountant gets an unexpected message promising a tax rebate if they click an enclosed link. Before clicking, the accountant pauses, hovers the cursor over the link, and sees that it resolves to an unrelated, misspelled domain instead of the company's finance portal — so they delete the message and report it. Which security program element most directly enabled the accountant to catch this attempt?
