What’s Proofpoint URL isolation?

Proofpoint has been a part of UNMC and Nebraska Medicine for more than three years. However, in the past year, aspects of the IT safety measure may have become more noticeable.

We first introduced you to Proofpoint Isolation, a tool to protect against phishing emails, in May 2020, and now is as good of a time as ever for a refresher.

If you happen to click on a link in your email that is considered high-risk, your display will automatically be redirected to the Proofpoint browser isolation. Proofpoint browser isolation scans the link you clicked on for threats and makes the URL (web address) in a read-only mode until the scan has been completed.

If the link is determined to be safe, an option to “exit” isolation will be presented in the upper right hand corner of the screen. Exiting isolation must be clicked on to complete downloads or uploads. See the screenshot below for Exiting Browser Isolation.
