Key Features for Your Customers

Safe Links - Time-of-Click Protection

Defender for Office 365 provides real-time protection against malicious links through its Safe Links feature. When a user clicks on a URL within an email or Office document, the link is checked immediately to ensure it is safe. If the link is malicious, the user is warned and the threat is blocked.

Safe Attachments

The Safe Attachments feature scans email attachments in a virtual sandbox environment. If an attachment exhibits suspicious behaviour or is deemed malicious, it is prevented from opening. This protection extends to attachments shared via Teams, OneDrive, and SharePoint.

Anti-Phishing Technology

Defender for Office 365 employs advanced anti-phishing technology to detect and block phishing attempts. It uses AI-powered algorithms to identify unusual email patterns, impersonation attempts, and other suspicious behaviours. This ensures users are protected from sophisticated phishing attacks that aim to steal credentials or defraud them.

URL Detonation

URLs within emails and documents are detonated in a sandbox to check for any hidden threats. This process helps to identify potentially harmful websites that may not be detected by traditional methods.

Multi-Factor Authentication Integration

Defender for Office 365 integrates seamlessly with Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) to provide an additional layer of security. MFA helps to ensure that even if a user's credentials are compromised, unauthorised access to corporate data is prevented.
