Overview

Threat actors are increasingly targeting people, not infrastructure, which has changed the way organizations need to protect themselves. Proofpoint is the only cybersecurity vendor that has taken a people-centric approach to security innovation across its 25+ cloud-based solutions. It’s also the only company that can provide organizations with the threat intelligence and solutions they need to identify and secure their very attacked people (VAPs) over email, social media, and cloud apps.

Proofpoint’s global customers, including more than 50% of the Fortune 100, depend on the company to provide an unmatched level of insight into VAPs as well as to protect their employees and the information they create. The company remains committed to ongoing innovation and dedicates approximately 20% of revenue to R&D, one of the highest rates in the industry.

In addition, Proofpoint offers the world’s largest threat data collection that features threat scoring based on type/spread/targeting and processes over 5B emails per day. Its Nexus Threat Graph encompasses hundreds of billions of correlated data points ensure protection. Proofpoint’s multiple analytical techniques cover malware (including sandboxing, static, and protocol analysis), phishing (including machine learning-powered classifier and credential phishing kit detection), and email fraud (including a machine learning-powered “impostor classifier” and domain spoofing and typosquatting prevention).

Proofpoint also bolstered its portfolio in 2018 with three strategic acquisitions (Wombat Security, Weblife.io, and Cloudmark) and ten new innovations.
