  • Block threats that have been recognized in other organizations by Proofpoint Targeted Attack Protection (TAP) Attachment Defense customers.
  • View all detected threats, affected users, and associated forensics in the TAP dashboard.
  • Quarantines messages containing threats in the 'Attachment Defense' folder in the Proofpoint Protection Server (PPS) dashboard.
  • Automatically enabled for Email Protection customers.

FAQ's

Does Proofpoint have access to customer data contained in attachments?
No. ADRS only checks the attachment hash against a reputation list of malicious attachments previously detected in other customer organizations. Customer PII and any content contained within an attachment is never exposed or analyzed under any circumstances.

What types of threats are not caught by ADRS?
Zero-day threats or those where there are variations in the attachment payload. This requires additional dynamic, behavioral analysis that Proofpoint can also provide.
