Proofpoint Email Protection: Stopping Phishing and Business Email Compromise Before the Inbox

Proofpoint Email Protection is an email security platform that protects corporate email traffic against phishing, business email compromise (BEC), malicious links, malicious attachments, spam and account takeover attempts. By analysing message content, sender identity and link and attachment behaviour, it detects and responds to threats before they reach the mailbox or after delivery.

How Does It Work?

Pre-delivery analysis: Content, sender identity, links and attachments are analysed, and most threats are stopped before reaching users.

Post-delivery response: Messages later found to be malicious can be pulled back from mailboxes automatically.

Contextual visibility: Targeted attacks and executive fraud attempts become visible in context.

Benefits for Organisations

The number of email-borne incidents and the review load on security teams fall, as does the risk of financial loss. Central policy, reporting and automated remediation strengthen the security of existing email platforms such as Microsoft 365.
