Increase visibility into threats
Proofpoint has over 100,000 customers with visibility across multiple vectors such as email, cloud, network, and social. This gives us unique insight into the threat landscape, since we can correlate threats from various vectors to increase the effectiveness of our advanced email security.
We use this visibility to constantly monitor and block more threats from ever getting to your people in the first place.
Increase visibility into user risk
Sending simulated phish to gauge user risk is great, but it’s only one anti-phishing approach. Being able to see which users are being targeted by real attacks offers additional insight. It’s not just who is vulnerable to an attack, it’s who is being targeted that you need to focus on.
Our unmatched visibility into these enables you to provide targeted training to the users who need it most. This helps you reduce risk faster and run a more targeted, time-efficient programme.
Increase behaviour change
We don’t view education as a tick box. It’s a critical anti-phishing tool. You get hundreds of diverse, multinational and customisable training modules and awareness materials, so you can drive impactful behaviour change. And at the same time, you can ensure compliance and minimise user downtime.
What’s more, we continue to invest and develop our content library, as demonstrated by our acquisition of The Defence Works and partnership with TeachPrivacy.
Increase user emails reported
When you educate your users to spot and prevent phishing emails, they become part of your line of defence. And email warning tags allow them to report suspicious emails more easily by responding directly from the tag. They can receive nudges if the message is from an external sender, potentially an impostor, or impersonating a domain.
This makes it easier for your users to rethink engaging with potentially suspicious messages.
Increase automated abuse mailbox remediation
Abuse mailboxes can drain time for already overburdened incident response teams. Our Closed-Loop Email Analysis and Response (CLEAR) solution automates the entire process, from users reporting emails to malicious messages being removed automatically. There are no YARA rules to configure, and no sandbox or threat intelligence to purchase. Everything’s included with CLEAR.
Phishing FAQs
How to report phishing emails?
If you think you’re the target of a phishing campaign, the first step is to report it to the right people. On a corporate network, it’s best to report it to IT staff so that they can review the message to determine if it’s a targeted campaign. For individuals, you can report fraud and phishing to the FTC.
What is trap phishing?
Phishing has many forms, but one effective way to trick people into falling for fraud is to pretend to be a sender from a legitimate organisation. A phishing trap lures users to a malicious website using familiar business references and using the design from a site that has the same logo, designs, and interface as a bank, e-commerce, or other popular brand that a targeted user would recognise. This is also known as a Watering Hole attack.
What is barrel phishing?
To avoid email filters, an attacker might send an initial benign-looking email to establish trust first, and then send a second email with a link or request for sensitive information. Barrel phishing takes more effort from the attacker, but the effect can be more damaging as targeted users feel that they can trust the email sender.
How to spot a phishing email?
The main goal of phishing is to steal credentials (credential phishing), sensitive information, or trick individuals into sending money. Always be wary of messages that ask for sensitive information or provide a link where you immediately need to authenticate.
