Proofpoint was recently recognized as the top solution in the Best Email Security Solution category at the 2020 SC Awards. Trusted by organizations worldwide, Proofpoint Email Protection provides multiple layers of security to stop malware and non-malware threats, such as email fraud, while preventing confidential information from getting into the wrong hands.
“Nearly 95 percent of data breaches start with an email—and organizations need an email security solution that detects and stops email threats while providing visibility into their human attack surface,” said Ryan Kalember, executive vice president of Cybersecurity Strategy for Proofpoint. “Cybercriminals are systematically targeting specific individuals within organizations, not infrastructure, requiring organizations to take a people-centric approach to their overall security strategy. We’re pleased to be recognized as the top email security solution as it underscores our absolute commitment to people-centric security innovation, and the hard-won trust we’ve accrued within the industry.”
Winners of the Trust Award were chosen by a distinguished group of leading IT security professionals from SC Media's readership and selected by SC Media’s editorial team. Entrants were narrowed down to a select group of finalists before undergoing a rigorous final judging process to determine the winner of each category.
“Our judges considered many strong candidates this year for the Trust Awards category, but a select few stood out, excelling in key areas such as functionality, innovation, scalability, ease of use, cost of ownership, return on investment, and customer friendliness,” said Illena Armstrong, VP, editorial, SC Media. “Proofpoint emerged as a truly heavy hitter in a crowded field of players.”
