Managed Security Awareness


Protect your organisation with a tailored security awareness programme

The human factor in cybersecurity should not be underestimated—or undervalued. People account for most of the data breaches in organisations today. So it’s important to deploy and optimise your security awareness programme to address the constantly changing threat landscape. The Proofpoint Managed Security Awareness team is focused on changing user behaviour and aligning your initiatives to your organisation’s culture and objectives. This allows you to optimise your investment in the Proofpoint Security Awareness platform. And it helps you make user education a strategic part of your defence-in-depth strategy.

Best-in-class managed security awareness programmes

Reduce employee risk faster when our team implements your managed security awareness programme. We use our expert knowledge of Proofpoint assessment, training and threat intelligence resources to get you results. We support enterprises of all sizes in industries and regions around the globe. And we know how to optimise programmes and strategise around behaviour change. Our experts use our established learning framework and comprehensive cybersecurity awareness portfolio to plan and deliver your programme.

  • Assess your users’ recognition of email-based phishing threats with customised phishing simulations based on real-world attacks
  • Measure cybersecurity knowledge and effectiveness of training through learning assessments that provide insights into users’ areas of strength and weakness
  • Use our culture assessment to evaluate the security culture across your organisation based on three key dimensions: responsibility, importance and empowerment
  • Align education to address specific areas of concern, such as emerging threats or user-demonstrated vulnerabilities to phishing attacks

Continuous operational support

It’s difficult to find experienced security awareness practitioners who are knowledgeable about the latest threats, attack techniques and security best practices. And it’s even more challenging in a tight cybersecurity labour market. But Proofpoint can help. Our Managed Security Awareness team of experts support your organisation by using in-depth knowledge of the threat landscape and optimal security awareness strategies.

Don’t let your security awareness programme suffer from a lack of resources, time and attention. Let us help you optimise your investment in the Proofpoint Security Awareness platform and free up your internal staff. You can rely on us to plan and implement an effective programme and handle administrative and deployment tasks.

  • Work in collaboration with us to define your programme goals based on your organisation’s objectives

Integrated and actionable reporting

Our team gives you an integrated view of user vulnerability. This is done through our knowledge and culture assessments, simulated phishing campaigns, training statistics and PhishAlarm email reporting. We yield executive insights for stakeholders across the organisation and at the board level. You get an actionable performance analysis that shows improvement trends, areas of concern and recommendations for improvement.

  • Gain visibility into user knowledge levels and susceptibility to attack with quantifiable data and deeper correlational analysis by departments, geographies or roles.
  • Evaluate improvements against baseline data we establish at the onset of your managed security awareness programme through phishing simulations and learning and culture assessments.
  • Receive reports securely via email for each activity as the programme progresses or use our results API, which enables you to create dashboards through the BI tool of your choosing.
  • Identify risk domains within your organisation and work with us to create a plan for strengthening your workforce.
  • Gain access to industry and template benchmarking analysis (if available).
