Brief Overview
For Office 365 (Gmail Business), easy to set up and feature comprehensive.
Proofpoint is a good Email Security Solution that encrypts important emails before they are sent, high Email Security storage capacity, and ensures continuous sending and receiving of Emails. In addition, the Email management system is built on a unique platform, with an admin dashboard.
Proofpoint has good control over email threats globally, on social networks, and on smartphones.

Currently, Proofpoint is protecting the top 5 banks globally and 7 of the top 10 retailers in the world.
Proofpoint provides an integrated, end-to-end solution to comprehensively prevent and remediate both malware and malware-less email threats. It delivers actionable visibility into Very Attacked People (VAPs) and detailed forensics; protects VAPs against various threats with adaptive controls; trains end-user to spot identity deception tactics; automates threat investigation and remediation.
Proofpoint utilizes a combination of dynamic, static, and protocol analysis techniques to inspect the full attack chain. Powered by Nexus Threat Graph that aggregates and correlates over a trillion threat data points across email, cloud, network, and social media, Proofpoint Email Security delivers visibility into the ever-changing threat landscape and provides unparalleled threat detection and response. It also uses NexusAI, our proprietary machine-learning technology that learns in real-time, to accurately classify different types of email threats, including phishing, impostor, malware, spam, and more.
To effectively mitigate the risk of email attacks, Proofpoint enables organizations to apply numerous risk-based adaptive controls, including email isolation, predictive sandboxing, and security awareness training to risky users. It dynamically isolates URL clicks based on the risk profile of the recipient and provides a real-time anti-phishing scan. It preemptively sandboxes file sharing URLs before users click rather than relying solely on reputation, successfully addressing collaboration platform phishing where attackers host and deliver malicious payloads via legitimate filesharing sites. It also allows security professionals to safely assess how users would engage with impostors by simulating real-world phishing attacks and to auto-enroll those who require additional training.
With automated threat response capabilities, Proofpoint enables organizations to quickly remove phishing emails containing URLs poisoned post-delivery, even if they’re forwarded or received by others. It also streamlines abuse-mailbox, enabling end-users to report suspicious emails with one click via email warning tag. User-reported messages are automatically analyzed and quarantined if found to be malicious, significantly reducing manual work and IT overhead.
