Overview

Proofpoint is an American cybersecurity company founded in 2002 that concentrates on the channels people use rather than the network they sit on, starting from email and expanding into the wider problem of how employees are targeted and how data leaves an organisation. Its products cover email security, insider threat management, data loss prevention, security awareness training and digital risk protection, sold on the premise that most breaches begin with a person rather than a system. Headquartered in Sunnyvale and taken private by Thoma Bravo in 2021, it serves a large share of the Fortune 100 and has continued acquiring in the data security space.

Products

Digital Risk Protection
Detection of brand impersonation, fraudulent domains and social media abuse outside the corporate perimeter. Nothing an organisation controls can stop these, so monitoring and takedown is the only available response.
proofpoint.com
Security Awareness Training
Simulated phishing and training programmes for employees. Measured click rates give security leaders a number to report, which is often as much of the purchase rationale as the behaviour change itself.
proofpoint.com
Information Protection
Data loss prevention and classification across mail, cloud applications and endpoints. Enforcing one policy consistently across all three is the hard part, since data moves between them constantly and each has its own controls.
proofpoint.com
Insider Threat Management
Monitoring of user behaviour to detect data theft and misuse by employees and contractors. It is one of the few security categories where the investigation output has to satisfy a human resources or legal process rather than a technical one.
proofpoint.com
Email Protection
Filtering and analysis of inbound and outbound mail for phishing, malware and impersonation. Email remains the entry point for the large majority of intrusions, which is why this product still anchors the whole portfolio.
