How we are different

Detection Efficacy and Comprehensive Approach for Multiple Channels: Only Proofpoint provides a holistic solution that addresses fraud attacks across both email and digital engagement channels. Proofpoint accurately detects email fraud attacks with Supernova, our next-gen detection platform. It leverages a combination of machine-learning, stateful analytics, behavioral analytics, rulesets, and the work of researchers tracking threat actor tactics to deliver a detection platform with both high efficacy and low false-positive rate. It continuously learns from the threats we analyze and provides in-depth scanning across various digital channels, including social media, surface web, and the dark web. Additionally, we enable end-users to become more resilient to fraud attacks by providing threat-guided training, email warning tags, and one-click reporting.
Unmatched Visibility: Proofpoint provides visibility into the human attack surface, revealing Very Attacked People and peer group comparisons to help organizations assess, prioritize, and mitigate risk. We identify which users are being attacked by what type of threats and provide granular visibility into BEC themes, such as gift carding, lures, payroll redirect, and invoicing fraud. We reveal malicious lookalike domains used to send fraudulent emails or used by phishing website and uncover fraudulent social accounts. With our newly released Supplier Risk Explorer, we provide supplier-centric view into threats, identifying risky suppliers and prioritizing the risk they pose to an organization. We’re also the first to identify malicious supplier lookalike domains.
Automated Response: Proofpoint automates threat response, saving organizations money by improving operational effectiveness. Suspicious impostor emails reported by end-users are automatically quarantined and analyzed. Security professionals can remove impostor emails with just one click or automatically, even if they were forwarded. Proofpoint also automatically removes unsanctioned content or locks down an account if account tampering has been detected. Organizations can easily designate approved account configurations, including authorized owners, images, credentials, and third-party applications.
