What is Proofpoint E-Mail Protection?
Proofpoint’s Email Security platform is designed to protect organisations against a wide range of email-borne threats, including phishing attacks, malware, ransomware and advanced persistent threats (APTs). The platform helps organisations stay ahead of emerging threats and protect their sensitive data by using advanced machine learning and artificial intelligence capabilities to detect and block malicious emails in real time.
Detect phishing, fake and fraudulent emails
Email Protection detects emerging threats before they reach your users’ inbox. Proofpoint Advanced BEC Defence, powered by NexusAI, is designed to effectively stop a wide range of email fraud. This includes payment routing from compromised accounts and supplier billing fraud. Such threats require a more sophisticated detection technique as there is usually no malicious payload to detect.
Block malicious and spam emails
E-mail Protection incorporates multi-layered detection techniques to protect against ever-evolving threats. Signature-based detection blocks known threats such as viruses, trojans and ransomware. It also uses dynamic reputation analysis to continuously evaluate local and global IP addresses to determine whether to accept email connections. The unique email classifier also dynamically classifies a wide variety of emails. This includes impostor, phishing, malware, spam, bulk mail, adult content and circle of trust. And it quarantines incoming emails based on their type. Together, these features help protect you at the first signs of malicious activity.
Track any email in seconds
E-mail Protection has an extremely powerful search feature. Thanks to the intelligent search feature, hard-to-find log data can be easily identified based on dozens of search criteria. It is also possible to quickly track where emails come from and where they go. E-mail Protection provides detailed details of the search results, including metadata with over a hundred attributes. The search is completed in seconds, not minutes. Search results can be downloaded and exported up to 1 million records. In addition, a variety of real-time reports built into the product provide detailed visibility into email flow and trends. With this data, issues can be proactively addressed when they arise.
Scale for large enterprises with extensive flexibility
E-mail Protection supports the demands of the world’s largest enterprises. It allows creating highly customisable email firewall rules at the global, group and user level. Any security policy and mail forwarding rule that suits the need can be created and easily implemented. Email Protection also provides the same benefits and greater flexibility with multiple deployment options. This includes on-premises hardware, virtual machine and SaaS.
