URLDefense

URLDefense is a cybersecurity solution designed to protect organizations from phishing threats and targeted attacks by monitoring URLs. Links that begin with 'urldefense.proofpoint.com' are part of Proofpoint’s Targeted Attack Protection (TAP) system, which verifies the safety of a wide range of websites.
When a user clicks on a monitored link, URLDefense checks the destination URL for potential threats. If the site is verified as safe, users are seamlessly redirected to the original website. However, if the URL is identified as malicious, access is promptly blocked, thereby preventing users from encountering harmful sites.
This service is crucial for organizations looking to enhance their security posture against online threats, as it offers real-time protection and ensures that employees are not exposed to dangerous websites. URLDefense is part of a comprehensive suite of cybersecurity solutions provided by Proofpoint, aimed at fortifying organizations against evolving cyber threats.
By utilizing advanced threat intelligence and monitoring capabilities, URLDefense significantly reduces the risk associated with unsafe links and phishing attempts, contributing to a safer online environment.
