URL Defense

URL Defense, part of Proofpoint's Targeted Attack Protection (TAP), is designed to enhance cybersecurity for enterprise users by providing robust protection against targeted phishing emails and other online threats. This system ensures that all URLs beginning with 'urldefense.proofpoint.com' are evaluated for safety before they are accessed.
When users click a link, the URL Defense service checks the destination site. If the site is verified as safe, users are seamlessly redirected to the original URL. Conversely, if the site is flagged as harmful, access is blocked, thus protecting users from potential threats. This proactive approach to link safety helps organizations mitigate risks associated with malicious websites, ensuring that employees can browse securely.
Incorporating URL Defense into an organization's cybersecurity strategy not only protects sensitive information but also fosters a safer browsing environment for all users, significantly reducing the risk of successful phishing attacks.
