Email Protection
Email Security and Protection
Proofpoint Email Protection is the industry-leading email gateway, which can be deployed as a cloud service or on premises. It catches both known and unknown threats that others miss. Powered by NexusAI, our advanced machine learning technology, Email Protection accurately classifies various types of email. And it detects and blocks threats that don’t involve malicious payload, such as impostor email—also known as business email compromise (BEC). You can automatically tag suspicious email to raise end-user awareness. And track down any email in seconds. Plus, our granular email filtering controls spam, bulk graymail and other unwanted email.
