How we are different

Proofpoint analyzes more human communications than any other cybersecurity company. Every day, we scan over 3.1B emails, monitor over 49B URLs, block 3M email fraud attacks and 7M TOAD (Telephone-orientated attack delivery) attacks, and analyze 3B attachments and 4.75B mobile and email messages across 150+ ISPs. With our commitment to innovation coupled with a strong focus on AI and ML, Proofpoint is well-positioned in the industry. AI and ML, for example, require robust detection models and a high-fidelity data pipeline to yield accurate detection rates operational efficiencies, and automated protection. Proofpoint customers benefit from one of the largest and most diverse global cybersecurity data pipelines across email, the cloud, and mobile computing.

Proofpoint is the only security partner that aligns protection with human-based risks from initial compromise to lateral movement to data exfiltration. In doing so, CISOs gain an innovative and comprehensive view of their threat surface—a view only Proofpoint can share due to the breadth and depth of our extensive data set. We detect and stop attacks more effectively than competitors and reinvest twenty percent of our annual revenue into R&D, one of the highest percentages in the industry.

Attackers have often exploited the gaps between poorly implemented and monitored security controls to pass from a compromise of a person’s credentials through the network to the administrative privileges that make ransomware so disruptive. Frustrating adversaries becomes much more achievable when well-integrated security controls reinforce each other, providing not just defense in depth but also defense in breadth. Proofpoint's human-centric security platform seamlessly integrates with leading cybersecurity peers across the architectural domain, enabling defense in depth and security operations at scale--what all enterprises need.
