- Safe Links
- Safe Attachments
- Impersonation protection
To better understand these features, let us look at them individually, starting with Safe Links.
Safe Links
Safe Links provides time-of-click verification of URLs in incoming email messages, Teams messages, and Office files. This is done via URL scanning and rewriting of links in inbound email messages and in other Office files opened in Office applications such as Word, Outlook, or Teams messages to ensure that the URL in question is a legitimate URL and not a link for a malicious site.
