London, UK —June 6, 2019 – Proofpoint, Inc., (NASDAQ: PFPT), a leading cybersecurity and compliance company, today announced the 2019 SC Media Awards Europe recently recognised Proofpoint Advanced Email Security as Best Enterprise Security Solution. Proofpoint also received another coveted industry leadership excellence award for Best Customer Service. The announcement was made Tuesday, 4th June at the awards presentation held at the Marriott Grosvenor Square in London, organised by SC Media UK.

Proofpoint’s Advanced Email Security offering was recognised for providing half of the Fortune 1000 a comprehensive enterprise solution that spans phishing, email fraud, and malware detection and prevention, along with email authentication, email DLP/encryption, and response orchestration/automation for email incidents and data leaks.

Proofpoint was also awarded first place in the Best Customer Service category, a testament to its philosophy that a proactive approach to customer service is key to success. Our consultants provide deep health checks on customer systems, which extends beyond technical support. The consulting services provide access to a larger resource pool that spans across security to specific business expertise.

 “A top cybersecurity priority for organisations today is protecting how people work—and research has shown 93 percent of cyberattacks target people, with 96 percent occurring through the email channel,” said Ryan Kalember, executive vice president of Cybersecurity Strategy for Proofpoint. “Proofpoint rises above its competitors to help organisations drive a people-centric approach to cybersecurity, combining advanced security technology with security awareness training to defend against today’s increasingly targeted, socially-engineered cyberattacks. Being recognised at the recent SC Awards Europe once again is a welcomed acknowledgment of our commitment to innovation when it comes to advanced cybersecurity protection for businesses of all sizes.”

The SC Europe Awards are recognised as the industry gold standard of accomplishment for cybersecurity professionals, products, and services.
