Safe Links is a feature in Microsoft Defender for Office 365 (formerly known as Office 365 Advanced Threat Protection or ATP) that helps protect your organization from malicious hyperlinks in email messages. When an email contains a hyperlink, Safe Links checks the URL against a list of known malicious links. If the link is safe, the user can access the website normally. However, if the link is malicious, Safe Links blocks access to the website and alerts the user and administrators.
In Microsoft Defender for Office 365, Safe Attachments is a feature that helps protect your organization from malicious email attachments. It automatically scans email attachments for potential threats, such as malware or viruses, before delivering them to recipients’ mailboxes.
Creating a custom quarantine policy in Microsoft Defender for Office 365 involves configuring advanced threat protection settings to protect your organization’s email environment.
Strict preset security policies typically refer to predefined rules and guidelines designed to enhance security measures within an organization or system. These policies safeguard sensitive data, prevent unauthorized access, and mitigate potential security threats.
Microsoft Defender for Office 365 provides preset security policies to help organizations protect their Office 365 environment from various threats. These preset policies are designed to offer baseline protection and can be customized according to the organization’s specific requirements.
An email message internet header is a metadata set containing information about the sender, recipient, routing, and delivery of an email. It can help you find the domain name of the trusted ARC sealers. The domain name must match the domain specified in the d value of the ARC-Seal and ARC-Message-Signature headers in affected messages.
Authenticated Received Chain (ARC) is a mechanism used in email authentication protocols to address the issues of message forwarding and intermediary handling of emails. It is designed to improve the reliability and security of email authentication systems like SPF (Sender Policy Framework) and DKIM (DomainKeys Identified Mail).
Domain-based Message Authentication, Reporting, and Conformance (DMARC) builds upon SPF and DKIM to give domain owners greater control over how recipient servers handle their email messages. With DMARC, domain owners can specify policies instructing recipient servers on how to handle emails that fail SPF or DKIM checks. DMARC also enables domain owners to receive reports on email authentication results, allowing them to monitor and improve their email security posture.
