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.
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).
DomainKeys Identified Mail (DKIM) allows email senders to sign their outgoing emails digitally using cryptographic signatures. These signatures are stored as DKIM records in the domain’s DNS settings. Recipients’ mail servers can then use these signatures to verify that the email content has not been tampered with and originated from an authorized sender.
