Proofpoint

On March 10, 2017, UNO added a layer of security to the campus email system. UNO began using Proofpoint to provide extra protection of students, faculty, and staff. Proofpoint adds a layer of security to our email through industry-leading threat analytics, URL & attachment defense, and the ability to sandbox incoming threats to provide real-time protection to UNO's community of users. UNO uses Proofpoint to provide a secure email gateway to UNO users.

URL Threat Defense

URL Threat Defense is part Proofpoint and rewrites all incoming URL’s. When a user clicks the URL, Proofpoint routes them to the original destination. If a URL is identified as a threat, then any additional clicks are routed to the blocked site message instead.

If the URL is written out completely (HTTPS://…), Proofpoint rewrites that full URL within the message. If a user uses a shortened link, Proofpoint will only rewrite the shortcut and users have to hover over the link to see the rewritten URL.

Proofpoint Digest

The messages in your personal Proofpoint Digest represents emails that have been filtered and sorted into different categories, giving you an opportunity to take action on them. The emails listed have been placed in your personal Quarantine.
