Microsoft Defender For M365 Safe-Link Policy

Introduction 

Microsoft Safe-Link is a feature for Office 365 that provides URL checking and rewriting of inbound email messages in mail-flow. It also offers time-of-click verification of URLs and links in mail messages and other locations. Safe link scanning can help to protect your organization from malicious links used in phishing, and other attacks.
