Overview
OEM partners need reliable security content that can be embedded quickly, scaled globally, and maintained without building an intelligence team from scratch.
Proofpoint OEM Solutions help partners integrate ET Pro IDS/IPS rules, IP and domain reputation data, ET Threat Database APIs, and Active Exploits Protection into products, services, and managed offerings.
Accelerate product development
Embed validated threat intelligence and detection content without building and maintaining your own global research infrastructure.
Enrich detection and response
Add network detections, reputation scores, exploit context, and investigation data directly into customer workflows.
Differentiate security offerings
Give customers trusted, market-ready intelligence from one of the industry's most established threat research teams.
IDS/IPS
Proofpoint Emerging Threats Pro (ET Pro) provides a continuously updated IDS/IPS ruleset for detecting and blocking malicious network activity. Built for Snort and Suricata, ET Pro helps add proven detection coverage for exploits, malware, botnets, command and control, and other network threats.
Snort and Suricata Support
Deploy rules across industry-standard IDS and IPS engines without redesigning your product architecture.
Continuously Updated Rules
Keep detections current as attacker infrastructure, exploits, and malware behavior change.
Broad Threat Coverage
Cover malware, command and control, botnets, exploits, phishing, and other network-based threat categories.
High-Fidelity Detections
Reduce noise with precise signatures informed by observed attack data and malware analysis.
Sensor-Informed Intelligence
Use intelligence derived from global IDS telemetry, malware detonation, and Proofpoint threat research.
OEM Delivery Options
License rule content for embedded products, managed services, appliances, and customer-facing security platforms.
Reputation
ET Reputation List provides continuously updated IP and domain reputation data based on observed malicious activity. Enrich your products and services with categories, confidence scores, and current activity levels that help your customers prioritize risky traffic, alerts, and investigations.
Separate IP and Domain Lists
Consume purpose-built lists for IP addresses and domains to match your product workflows.
40+ Threat Categories
Classify indicators across malware, botnet, command and control, phishing, scanning, spam, and more.
Dynamic Confidence Scores
Rank indicators by observed behavior, activity, and likelihood of maliciousness.
Hourly List Updates
Refresh reputation intelligence frequently so customer protections reflect current threat activity.
Aggressive Aging
Age out stale indicators quickly to reduce false positives and keep enforcement decisions timely.
Flexible Formats
Deliver data through TXT, CSV, JSON, compressed files, APIs, and platform-specific integrations.
Threat Database
ET Threat Database gives OEM products access to searchable historical threat intelligence and API-driven context. Help your customers pivot across IPs, domains, hashes, CVEs, ET Pro SIDs, and related activity to investigate threats faster and understand attacker behavior.
Searchable IOC Context
Search across IP addresses, domains, MD5, SHA256, text strings, and related indicators.
Historical Threat Activity
Give analysts access to years of observed attack activity for richer incident investigation.
CVE and SID Lookup
Connect vulnerability and detection context to CVEs and ET Pro signature identifiers.
API-First Integration
Embed threat lookups directly into portals, SIEM workflows, managed services, and security products.
Pivot and Correlate
Help users drill down from an alert to related domains, samples, sessions, signatures, and infrastructure.
Actor and Trend Context
Add threat actor, trending, and CVE context to investigations and reporting workflows.
Exploit Defense
Active Exploit Protection helps OEM partners turn vulnerability intelligence into timely prioritization and protection. By highlighting exploit activity observed in the wild and connecting it to actionable context, help your customers reduce exposure before attackers gain leverage.
Active Exploit Context
Surface evidence that a vulnerability is being targeted so users can separate urgent risk from theoretical risk.
Vulnerability Prioritization
Help customers focus remediation on CVEs with real-world exploitation signals and business impact.
Exploit-Focused Detections
Connect exploit intelligence to rules, indicators, and security workflows that support faster protection.
Exposure Reduction
Reduce attack surface by helping teams act on vulnerabilities that attackers are actively pursuing.
Actionable Guidance
Provide context that supports emergency patching, compensating controls, and investigation workflows.
OEM Workflow Fit
Embed exploit intelligence into scanners, exposure management platforms, managed services, and dashboards.
Why Proofpoint
| Capabilities | Building In-House Intelligence | Proofpoint OEM Solutions |
|---|---|---|
| Primary-source intelligence | Requires dedicated collection, enrichment, and validation pipelines | Global telemetry, malware analysis, IDS sensors, and Proofpoint research |
| IDS/IPS rule coverage | Requires rule writers, QA, tuning, and constant maintenance | ET Pro rules for Snort, Suricata, and compatible platforms |
| Reputation data | Requires ongoing infrastructure tracking and false-positive management | IP and domain categories, confidence scoring, aging, and hourly updates |
| Threat database access | Requires building data models, storage, APIs, and analyst workflows | Searchable context and APIs across IOCs, CVEs, and ET Pro SIDs |
| Exploit prioritization | Requires vulnerability research and external exploit monitoring | Active exploitation context to focus remediation and protection |
| Time to market | Longer delivery timelines and higher ongoing operational cost | Embed proven intelligence and detection content quickly |
| Customer differentiation | Harder to prove coverage, freshness, and quality at scale | Add trusted intelligence into existing products and services |

OEM partners can embed ET Pro IDS/IPS rules, ET Reputation List IP and domain data, ET Threat Database search and APIs, and Active Exploit Protection context. These options help products detect malicious traffic, enrich alerts, power investigations, and prioritize actively exploited vulnerabilities.
ET Pro provides IDS/IPS rules that can run in Snort, Suricata, and compatible network security products. OEM partners can use the rules to detect and block exploits, malware, botnet, command-and-control, and other malicious network behavior inside their own products or managed services.
ET Reputation List provides IP and domain reputation intelligence with categories, confidence scores, activity levels, and frequent updates. Partners can use it to enrich alerts, prioritize risky traffic, block known-bad infrastructure, and improve investigation workflows.
ET Threat Database adds searchable historical context and API access so products can pivot across IPs, domains, hashes, CVEs, ET Pro SIDs, and related activity. It helps analysts move from a single indicator to a broader understanding of campaigns, infrastructure, and attacker behavior.
Active Exploits Protection focuses on vulnerabilities with evidence of exploitation in the wild. This helps customers prioritize remediation and compensating controls based on real attacker activity rather than severity scores alone.
Proofpoint OEM Solutions are designed for ISVs, MSSPs, security vendors, technology platforms, federal integrators, healthcare technology providers, IoT manufacturers, and other partners that want to embed trusted cyberthreat intelligence into their products or services.
