URL Defense by Proofpoint

URL Defense by Proofpoint is an advanced cybersecurity solution designed to safeguard enterprise users from targeted attacks, especially phishing emails. The service specifically handles URLs originating from emails that begin with 'urldefense.proofpoint.com'. When a user clicks on such a URL, it is processed by the Targeted Attack Protection (TAP) system. This system conducts a thorough safety check of the website linked in the email.
If the website is deemed safe, users are seamlessly redirected to the original URL. In cases where the website is found to host malicious content or malware, access is immediately blocked, preventing potential harm to the user’s system and data.
This proactive approach to phishing protection is essential for organizations looking to enhance their cybersecurity posture. By utilizing URL Defense, companies can effectively mitigate the risk of falling victim to malicious online threats.
