Safe Attachments:

  • When email messages arrive, the attachment will not be fully available until it is dynamically scanned to ensure it is safe.
  • You will see a message confirming that the “ATP scan is in progress” per below.

    • If the URL is unsafe, you will be unable to access the link.
