Facebook have stepped up their battle against phishing and malware scammers by partnering with security firm Websense.
Both Facebook and Websense will hope the extra measures will be enough to deter potential scammers from focusing their efforts on the network.
Scams regularly catch out hundreds of thousands of users at a time.
"There's over 700 million users on Facebook," Websense's Spencer Parker told the BBC.
"As a piece of real estate, it's extremely profitable to be targeted by malware writers."
The protection will be powered by Websense's "Threatseeker Cloud", a system which stores a database of known malicious URLs.
The system can also detect unknown dangerous URLs by assessing threats in real-time.
This means harmful URLs can be blocked even before they are known to the company - cutting off a key tactic used by phishers in which constantly changing URLs fool database-driven protection.
GNSE Group is the leading Platinum Partner of Websense in the Middle East and the Go to Market Partner.
With successful Websense implementations in more than hundred satisfied customers in Egypt, GNSE Group is securing productivity and privacy with the state of the art best recognized solutions.
