Proofpoint

Proofpoint is a leading enterprise cybersecurity company with a specialized focus on protecting people from targeted attacks delivered through email, social media, mobile devices, and cloud applications. Founded in 2002 and headquartered in Sunnyvale, California, Proofpoint protects more than 230,000 organizations worldwide, including over 85 of the Fortune 100 companies.

Proofpoint Email Protection is the company's core platform and one of the most widely deployed enterprise email security gateways globally. It provides protection against advanced threats including targeted phishing, business email compromise (BEC), malware, ransomware, and spam. Proofpoint's Targeted Attack Protection (TAP) uses dynamic sandboxing to analyze attachments and URLs in isolated environments, detecting zero-day malware and malicious links that evade traditional detection methods.

Business email compromise and email fraud represent the highest-cost cybercrime category globally, and Proofpoint's Email Fraud Defense and Supplier Risk Defense products are specifically engineered to detect and block impersonation attacks, fraudulent invoices, and supply chain fraud. These products analyze the domain alignment, email headers, and communication patterns of inbound messages to identify spoofed or lookalike domains.

Proofpoint Security Awareness Training is one of the most comprehensive and widely used security awareness platforms available, providing simulated phishing campaigns, role-based training modules, and behavioral analytics that help organizations measure and reduce human risk. The platform tracks individual employee vulnerability scores over time and personalizes training content to address each employee's specific risk profile.

Proofpoint Information Protection provides data loss prevention capabilities for email, cloud applications, and endpoints, helping organizations prevent sensitive data from being shared outside authorized channels. The DLP platform integrates with Microsoft 365, Google Workspace, and cloud storage platforms including Box, Dropbox, and SharePoint. Proofpoint Threat Intelligence, delivered through the Emerging Threats intelligence platform, provides security operations teams with high-quality network-based detection signatures and reputation data covering malware, botnets, and attacker infrastructure.
