Rulename	Phishing link click observed in Network Traffic
Description	The purpose of this content is to identify successful phishing links accessed by users. Once a user clicks on a phishing link, we observe successful network activity originating from non-Microsoft network devices. These devices may include Palo Alto Networks, Fortinet, Check Point, and Zscaler devices.
