Smart Search: Real-Time Message Tracing

Trying to track down a specific email message or tracing a set of email recipients of a particular phishing attack across your messaging infrastructure is almost like searching for a needle in a haystack. Quickly consolidating email message tracking logs and ensuring real-time message tracking is a challenge many organizations have.

Proofpoint Smart Search provides real-time advanced email message tracing with forensic and message tracking log analysis. Message tracking logs are quickly consolidated across all Proofpoint systems – even across globally deployed clusters – and indexed for rapid search. Message tracking log analysis information is continuously updated so that within minutes, detailed analysis about any email message can be found through the easy-to-use Smart Search interface.
