    The most effective way to improve security posture is to protect the people who represent the greatest risk within your organization. Proofpoint helps you uncover these high-risk individuals and drive sustainable behavior change.

    • Enrich risk profiling with data across Proofpoint solutions and insights from third-party integrations
    • Create targeted risk groups to tailor relevant learning, maximizing education effectiveness and engagement
  • Intervene with contextual guidance

    By implementing interventions like personalized guidance, contextual nudges and feedback, organizations can directly influence individuals’ actions. With the Proofpoint human-centric security platform, you can deliver timely advice and targeted education when employees engage in unsafe behaviors or encounter potential threats.

    • Automatically assign relevant activities that include education, assessments and other interventions, to engage people
    • Warn individuals about potential threats so they can make more informed decisions before taking action
    • Provide contextual guidance to prevent security incidents, e.g., nudge people to review the current recipient to prevent unintentional misdirected email
    • Alert people in the moment when risky behavior is detected and explain why, such as cautioning them when they engage with unproven generative AI sites
