Managed Email Threat Protection

Proactive Expertise

Take your email security to the next level

Email is a critical business tool for organizations. It’s also a crucial area of risk. And it remains the No. 1 threat vector, with attackers constantly evolving their tactics to bypass your organization’s security controls.

Proofpoint sees the world’s email threats as they are happening. And we apply that intelligence proactively, helping you stay ahead of attackers targeting your people. With Managed Email Threat Protection, you get access to a team of experts with deep experience with Proofpoint email security products. And we don’t just help you optimize day-to-day system performance. We come to you with critical, timely information and advice, consulting with your staff to prepare your organization ahead of the storm. With this approach, you can free up internal resources and allow your staff members to focus on higher-level, more strategic initiatives.

• Expert configuration of your secure email gateway to amplify your threat protection
• Implementation of security controls and customization of policy routes and groups to filter emails for high-risk users, such as your Very Attacked People™ (VAPs)
• Regular consultation with your internal team to ensure we align with your organization’s policies and objectives
• Proactive suggestions for tuning and application of best practices

Staff Continuity

Maintain operational consistency

Staffing is a critical component of any security initiative. But unlike many IT systems, email security systems must be continually monitored and optimized. As such, staff continuity is critical for reliable and effective protection.

But continuity remains a challenge, and not just because of talent shortages. Turnover, vacations and leaves of absence are unavoidable—and when they happen, they can significantly impact your email security efforts. And while traditional staff augmentation services give you access to people, they fall short of what you need: autonomous, knowledgeable cybersecurity professionals.

Proofpoint Managed Services minimizes the challenges of finding and retaining the skilled cybersecurity talent you need to manage your email security products effectively. And we ensure program continuity by giving you access to a team of service professionals who will protect your organization from email threats with no single point of failure.
