Tomer Heber - founder of Urlert

I've seen firsthand how prevalent online threats have become, from sophisticated phishing attacks to the widespread abuse of URL shortening services to mask malicious destinations. I built a URL shortener and saw firsthand the constant battle against malicious links – a battle that existing tools weren't winning.


I was frustrated by the limitations of existing URL checkers. Many are slow to update their databases, leaving users vulnerable to new threats for hours or even weeks. That's why I built URLert – to provide a fast, AI-powered solution that can scale to meet the ever-evolving landscape of online threats.

URLert's AI acts like a security expert, analyzing website structure, code behavior, and redirect patterns in seconds to identify phishing sites, malware downloads, and other online threats before they can harm you. While analysis can take up to a minute, it's usually much faster, and significantly quicker than traditional methods.


URLert's core service is free because I believe everyone deserves access to basic online safety tools, and we offer a powerful API for developers seeking to integrate URL security into their own applications. Try URLert's free URL checker and experience the difference AI-powered security can make.
