What are SafeLinks and Proofpoint URLs?

SafeLinks and Proofpoint are email security services that protect users from malicious URLs by rewriting links before delivery. When you click these links, the security service checks the destination before allowing access.
Microsoft SafeLinks:

  • Domain: `safelinks.protection.outlook.com`
  • Rewrites URLs in emails, Office documents, and Teams messages
  • Original URL stored in `url` query parameter

Proofpoint URL Defense:
  • Enterprise email security service
  • Domain: `urldefense.com` or `urldefense.proofpoint.com`
  • Scans links for malicious content
  • Original URL embedded in URL structure or query parameters
  • Verify Email Links: See the actual destination before clicking
  • Security Analysis: Inspect links for suspicious destinations
  • Documentation: Extract original URLs for records
  • Bypass Protection: Access original links for legitimate purposes
