Proofpoint Security Awareness Training
Security Awareness Training
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. Proofpoint Security Awareness Training empowers your people to defend your organisation with a holistic solution resulting in 30% fewer clicks on real-world malicious links. It has been named a Gartner Leader in its Magic Quadrant for 6 years in a row.

Assess
Step one is to establish your organisation’s baseline and understand where your user cybersecurity knowledge and programme gaps are. Proofpoint Security Awareness helps inform your programme focus through knowledge assessments, culture assessments, and phishing simulation tests that are driven by our threat intelligence. And it integrates with Proofpoint Targeted Attack Protection (TAP) to give you insights into your top clickers and Very Attacked People™(VAPs) in real-world attacks.
Proofpoint helps you identify what your users know, what they would do when faced with threats, and how they feel about security. These factors help you adapt your security awareness programme to fit your users’ unique needs.
You get:
- Phishing/USB simulations based on real-world threats
- Knowledge assessments
- Culture assessments
- Reports that identify your VAPs and top clickers
