Link Shortener Security: Best Practices to Protect Your Links

Password Protection

Add passwords to sensitive links. Recipients must enter the password before being redirected.

Link Expiration

Set expiration dates on time-sensitive content. After expiry, redirects to a safe landing page.

HTTPS Everywhere

UTMPro serves all links over HTTPS by default, encrypting the connection.

API Key Security

• Use scoped API keys
• Rotate keys regularly
• Never expose keys in client-side code

SAML SSO

For enterprise workspaces, enable SAML SSO to ensure only authenticated IdP users can access the workspace.

Webhook Signature Verification

Always verify the HMAC-SHA256 signature on incoming webhook requests.
