Multi-layered, AI-augmented email threat defense
Stop 99.99% of all email threats including business email compromise, ransomware and credential phishing.
People activate email attacks
Email is the No. 1 vector for cyberattacks today. What makes advanced email threats like business email compromise (BEC), ransomware, and credential phishing so successful is how well they target your users. To stop attacks you need to start with people.

Key Features
AI-driven, multilayered protection
Our multilayered detection stack is comprised of threat intelligence, machine learning, behavioral AI, sandbox detection, content and semantic analysis (LLMs). As a result, we detect 99.9% of threats and our false positive rate is the lowest in the industry.
Pre-delivery inbox defense
We analyze messages, links and attachments before they reach the inbox. And we provide inline, pre-delivery sandboxing and behavioral analysis of suspicious QR codes.
Seamless classification of user-reported messages
We make it easy for users to report suspicious messages across all devices and automatically classify reported emails. If we discover a user-reported message is malicious, we’ll automatically remove all instances of it from other user inboxes—including forwards and distribution lists. And we communicate that activity back to the user, helping them understand the impact of their actions.
Automated quarantine post-delivery
We re-write URLs to protect users on any network and device to detect if a message has been weaponized after delivery. If a malicious message is detected post-delivery, we automatically move it to quarantine. And we follow forwarded mail and distribution lists.
Adaptive controls for customized protection
We offer unique insights into your Very Attacked People (VAPs) and the threats targeting them empowering you to implement targeted adaptive controls including browser isolation, focused security awareness training, step-up authentication and more. And our threat intelligence and research provide you with early warning telemetry into new, previously unknown threats targeting your users.

Proofpoint Email Protection is the industry-leading email gateway, which can be deployed as a cloud service or on premises. It catches both known and unknown threats that others miss.
More than 90% of targeted attacks start with email—and these threats are always evolving. Proofpoint Targeted Attack Protection (TAP) helps you stay ahead of attackers with an innovative approach that detects, analyzes and blocks advanced threats before they reach your inbox.
Proofpoint Threat Response Auto-Pull (TRAP) enables messaging and security administrators to analyze emails and move malicious or unwanted emails to quarantine, after delivery. It follows forwarded mail and distribution lists and creates an auditable activity trail.
Attackers target people more directly than ever, and 95% of all cybersecurity issues can be traced back to human error. Ensure your users know what to do when faced with a real threat by providing them with targeted, threat-guided education.
