Employees work in different ways, within different environments and with different tools—from finance teams using collaboration apps at home on their mobile devices to product designers accessing files stored in the cloud.
But whatever the work situation, people experience risk—risk from the threats that are targeting them and the risk in the data they interact with.
With Proofpoint, organizations can protect people and defend data by taking a human-centric approach. Our platform provides best-of-breed solutions to solve four critical concerns—stopping threats, protecting information, guiding users and securing app & identity posture.
Proofpoint technologies powering human-centric security
All four of these critical human-centric solutions are empowered by two core technologies from Proofpoint.
The first is our market-leading AI models and detection techniques collected under an ensemble called Proofpoint Nexus®. This is the foundation of our advanced cybersecurity platform, providing seamless, multilayered protection through advanced AI, machine learning and real-time threat intelligence models. It protects your organization from every angle to keep you ahead of threats, and it is the core of the Proofpoint security ecosystem.
Proofpoint Zen™ identifies and mitigates risk across your entire digital environment
The second piece of technology that empowers all four solutions is Proofpoint Zen™. Zen includes all of our end-user facing technologies that alert, guide and empower your end users to be resilient and guided away from risky behavior and human-targeted attacks.
Zen identifies and mitigates risk across your entire digital environment, so your team can work without fear of cyberthreats. And it provides you with a level of protection and peace of mind that is unmatched in the industry.
Threat actors continue to find new ways to exploit human vulnerabilities to achieve their nefarious goals
Defend against threat actors
From using AI/ML to craft well-written business email compromise (BEC) messages to combining collaboration tools and web links to perform impersonation and supplier-related breaches, there is no end to what threat actors will come up with next.
Proofpoint is the only security partner that brings together an end-to-end approach to stop all human-targeted attacks—from email to collaboration tools to web applications.
Proofpoint integrates together a multilayered approach that covers the whole threat attack chain—from pre-delivery, to post-delivery and to click-time
Pre-delivery
From detection of BEC messages using high-performance machine learning with Proofpoint Nexus®, to URL links rewriting and web isolation.
Post-delivery
Get threat detection of supplier-based attacks through API integrations into Microsoft 365, and to cloud application account takeover.
Click-time
Our modern security operations interface as a threat protection workbench to quickly search, report and remediate issues.
As a single strategic partner invested for your needs today and into the future, Proofpoint consolidates all your threat protection needs into a single offering.
Careless users mishandle it. Malicious users walk out the door with it. And compromised user accounts are hijacked to steal it. The unfortunate story of data loss and insider threats never ends because of old technology approaches.

A human-centric approach
A new approach is needed—a human-centric approach. This approach brings together understanding of data classification, user intent and threat context. And it uses Proofpoint Nexus® to derive insights and automated policy decisions. Only with this new approach and applying it consistently across email, cloud, endpoint, web and GenAI tools can an organization bring under control the risks around their data.
Regulations and governance
In addition to addressing the needs of insider threats and data loss prevention, organizations also need to meet the regulatory requirements around their digital communications.
From responding quickly to e-discovery archive requirements to supervising collaboration communications, we bring these capabilities together with Proofpoint Digital Communications Governance. Through a modern cloud architecture, Proofpoint provides an expansive list of connectors to capture communications across different collaboration applications, and applies AI to perform supervision and compliance actions.
Corporate identities are the root of many ways employees work—from cloud accounts in SaaS applications and authentication tokens that access corporate file repositories, to permissions to traverse across the corporate network.
The new threat landscape
Unfortunately, while these empower employees to work with ease, threat actors also have learned to use this power to achieve their own nefarious goals of ransomware, cloud account takeover or data exfiltration. Cloud account takeover, lateral movement across attack paths and living off the land—these are just a few of the many attack techniques that threat actors have developed as we empower people to work however they choose.
Take an integrated approach
Instead of solving this with product silos, an integrated human-centric approach is needed. By taking this approach, every solution to a threat actor technique can be solved effectively. Do you understand the exposed attack path that a compromised user can create? Can you quickly be alerted with high fidelity, and quickly respond to a change in a user’s cloud application account posture?
With Proofpoint, you can answer and respond to all your concerns around securing SaaS applications and identity posture
Traditional security awareness training by itself is no longer enough to sustain behavior change. You need a new approach to help keep your users resilient against human-targeted attacks.
Proofpoint ZenGuide enables security teams, small and large, to automate and scale personalized learning paths based on an individual’s unique risk profile, behaviors and role. It uses people-risk insights across the Proofpoint ecosystem to understand human risk. And it delivers relevant interventions that build security champions and reduce risky behaviors.
Adopt risk-based learning that enables organizations to move beyond compliance-driven programs to provide targeted, context-aware education that addresses specific risks and behaviors.
Scale awareness and behavior change programs by automatically enrolling identified risky employees into a targeted, relevant set of education, interactive simulations and other interventions that adapt to behaviors.
Increase employee engagement with in-time learning moments and an employee dashboard that recognizes and rewards good security practices, reinforcing desired behavior and fostering a security-minded culture.
