Proofpoint

Proofpoint is a cybersecurity and compliance platform designed to protect people, data, and brands from advanced threats across email, cloud, web, and collaboration channels. Its primary purpose is to detect, block, and respond to targeted attacks such as phishing, business email compromise, ransomware, and data exfiltration, with a strong focus on human-centric risk. By combining threat intelligence, behavioral analysis, and policy-based controls, Proofpoint helps organizations reduce their attack surface and meet regulatory requirements.

Key capabilities include advanced email security with URL and attachment sandboxing, impersonation detection, and anti-spam/anti-malware filtering. Proofpoint also offers data loss prevention (DLP), encryption, and archiving to protect sensitive information and support e-discovery and compliance with regulations such as GDPR, HIPAA, and FINRA. Its cloud security features extend protection to Microsoft 365, Google Workspace, and other SaaS applications, identifying account compromise, risky OAuth apps, and data exposure. In addition, Proofpoint delivers security awareness training and phishing simulations to reduce user susceptibility to social engineering attacks, guided by detailed risk and vulnerability analytics.
