Proofpoint Email Protection

Protection against BUSINESS EMAIL COMPROMISE (BEC)

Dynamically classify impostor email (BEC) other threats that don't involve malware. These low volume, hard-to-detect threats have cost businesses more than $2.3 billion and cannot be detected by solutions that detect only malware. We detect and classify impostor email through a combination of authentication (DMARC), pre-defined rules, and dynamic classification. Our technology actively assesses the reputation of the sender for accurate protection without additional administration overhead.

We analyze:

• Sender-recipient relationship
• Domain reputation
• Email headers and envelope attributes
• Email content

Granular filtering and control

Email Protection can control all aspects of inbound and outbound email. Our policy engine gives you complete flexibility. Custom rules support global, group and user-level controls to meet the needs of even the most complex enterprise. Individual quarantines enable you to separate email types to allow your people to access their email digest and quarantine while keeping malicious emails away. Quarantines include:

• Spam
• Impostor
• Bulk
• Phishing
• Malware
• Adult
• Low Priority

Detailed visibility

Email Protection gives you a wealth of data and search tools. Our advanced message tracing features a high-performance search engine to help you quickly pinpoint hard-to-find log data based on dozens of search criteria. With more than 60 real-time reports for detailed visibility into mail flow and trends, Email Protection provides the data that can help address issues and trends as they emerge. Give your people self-service control over their email preferences such as:

• Quarantines
