Multi-layered, adaptive threat defence
Block human-targeted attacks, stop account takeover and safeguard privileged identities.
People activate today’s integrated attacks.
Email remains the #1 threat vector to target organisations. What makes cyber attacks like business email compromise (BEC), credential phishing, ransomware and account takeover so successful is how effectively they target your users using a personalised, multi-layered approach. Traditional defences focused on siloed controls aren’t enough. To stop these modern attacks, you need integrated defence.
We stop every type of attack targeting your people
Our multi-layered, adaptive threat defence stops 99.99% of all email threats, including business email compromise, ransomware, credential phishing and other forms of social engineering.
In addition to email threats, Proofpoint provides defence in depth to detect and remediate account takeovers and safeguard privileged identities, effectively closing off attack paths and stopping lateral movement.
Experience the benefits of our stop human-targeted attacks product
Get total visibility
We offer total visibility into who your Very Attacked People (VAPs) are, what threats are targeting them, and how. And we offer a risk score for each person at your organisation based on their unique vulnerability, attack and IT privileges.
Superior defence starts with world-class data
Our AI/ML models are trained with the richest data set in the world, providing superior accuracy. We analyse three trillion messages per year across 230,000+ organisations globally. The value of our proprietary data is enhanced by contextual insights and in-depth classification from our leading team of threat researchers and data scientists.
Work smarter
Proofpoint boosts the efficiency and effectiveness of your team. We stop threats before they reach your organisation, reducing your workload. We also automate the remediation of malicious and unwanted emails post-delivery, limiting exposure time and accelerating incident response.
Defend better before and after delivery
Pre-delivery, we detect and stop email threats with and without payloads—including BEC, TOAD attacks, and credential phishing—before they reach your inbox.
Post-delivery, our comprehensive protection rewrites suspicious URLs, applies contextual warning tags to emails, and conducts in-depth analysis of messages via behavioural AI and content examination. And it remediates threats, ensuring total protection.
Prevent account takeover, safeguard identities
Our identity defences detect account takeover and stop lateral movement. We find and fix your risky identities and available attack paths before your adversaries do.
Key features that stop human-targeted attacks
Nexus People Risk Explorer identifies your riskiest users
We provide insights into who your "Very Attacked People" (VAP) are and what specific threats are targeting them, so you can implement customised controls including browser isolation, focused security awareness training, identity vulnerability remediation, and step-up authentication to reduce risk.
Early warning telemetry into risks targeting your people
Our team of threat researchers investigates threats, identifies new campaigns and tracks threat actor activity. We provide detailed reports of attack trends and insights into specific threat actors targeting your organisation.
Enhanced end user experience
Seamless classification of user-reported messages
We make it easy for users to report suspicious messages across all devices and automatically classify reported emails. If we discover that a user-reported message is malicious, we’ll automatically remove all instances of it from all user inboxes—including forwards and distribution lists. And we communicate that activity back to the submitting user, helping them understand the positive impact of their actions.
Email warning tags to help your users
We empower your users to make informed decisions in the moment with email warning tags that flag potentially malicious messages. And our warning banners include an integrated “report suspicious” button, making it easy to report suspicious messages even on a mobile device.
Pre-delivery sandboxing and behavioural analysis
We analyse messages, links and attachments before they reach the inbox. And we provide inline, pre-delivery sandboxing and behavioural analysis of suspicious QR codes, reducing the burden on your security teams. Our sandbox technology provides exhaustive analysis via static, dynamic and analyst-assisted execution, to maximise detection and intelligence extraction. We use ML-driven intelligence to determine whether a URL should be sent to the sandbox for further analysis.
Continuous analysis of the inbox with Adaptive Email Security
We analyse messages in employee inboxes using over 200 behavioural AI signals, providing defence-in-depth. Augment pre-delivery protection with an API integration to M365 or Google Workspace. And we stop internal phishing by detecting anomalous sending behaviours such as spikes in email volume and unusual recipients.
Personalised security protection
In combination with our email security solution, our personalised threat-driven security education enables you to deliver targeted learning and simulations for better outcomes, reinforcing behaviour with contextual nudges via email tags and custom feedback on user-reported messages.
Automated protection
Click-time protection
We re-write URLs to protect users on any network and device to detect if a message has been weaponised post delivery. When users click on re-written URLs, automated browser isolation and real-time sandboxing protects against malware and credential theft.
Automated Quarantine Post-Delivery
If a malicious message is detected post-delivery, we automatically move it to quarantine. And we follow forwarded mail and distribution lists.
Powerful integrations
API-based SIEM/SOAR integration
We enable you to automatically enrich and correlate existing security event data with email threat data , so your security team can leverage context-aware threat intelligence and to proactively alert on and quickly respond to suspicious email-based threats.
API-based endpoint integration
We automatically feed threat intelligence information to your endpoint protection solution. With insight into endpoint behaviour, file activity information, and detailed threat forensic evidence, your security team can quickly identify and enable endpoint isolation to remediate compromised devices. And we provide API-enabled, bi-directional workflows and integrations with third-party security vendors like Palo Alto, Crowdstrike, Microsoft Defender, Okta and more.
