Proofpoint Review

Overview

Proofpoint offers several email security solutions, including spam filtering, email archiving, industry-specific products, and policy-based email encryption tools. The company’s email encryption programs include user started single-click encryption, gateway policy-based encryption, and SaaS. Most of their products are built for larger enterprises with industry-specific security needs, such as for retail, manufacturing, hospitality, healthcare, government, education, and financial operations.

Recently, Proofpoint bought out Maildistiller to provide email security solutions for smaller companies. However, Maildistiller subscriptions do not allow sending of encrypted email. Proofpoint is a perfect platform if you want both data loss prevention and email security products for your large enterprise. The vendor can offer a hybrid solution in an integrated package to meet all your needs.

Benefits

Email Security and Protection

Overview

Over 90% of targeted attacks begin with email, and these dangers are always growing. Proofpoint Email Protection offers multiple security layers to halt malware and other threats like email fraud. The platform can control all elements of outbound and inbound email to spot and block dangers, and protect sensitive information from prying eyes.

Email Protection

Sophisticated email filtering, visibility, and control

Email Protection permits you to deploy strong policies as an initial step in directing email to users. You can implement in-depth firewall rules based on your requirements and also set up anti-virus policies. The platform uses user bulk mail actions to enhance the preciseness of future discovery and classification. You can utilize the search tools and wealth of data to protect your company’s email.

Impostor Email Threat Protection

Impostor threats are difficult to detect. Proofpoint’s Stateful Composite Scoring Service (SCSS) is a machine learning method that specifically searches for these email dangers. It leverages known aspects about your unique environment, as well as information from all Proofpoint clients, to effectively detect and stop email fraud.

Internal Mail Defense

Cloud-based email solutions are at risk of getting compromised if they are not securely protected. Proofpoint’s Internal Mail Defense system helps to identify compromised accounts. It automatically scans all inbound email traffic, presenting a multi-layered method to identify phishing attacks, malware, and spam sent through compromised accounts. The platform removes impacted emails and presents reports on the compromised accounts.

Email Continuity

Email downtime can significantly affect staff productivity. The Enterprise Continuity solution ensures email is available always, even if your organization’s email system is down. It gives complete access to users – through native mobile support, a web portal, or Outlook integration. The best part is the tool activates automatically in the event of an outage, with automated recovery.
