SEE WHY ORGANIZATIONS CHOOSE PROOFPOINT
Human-centric security vs. traditional security approaches
| Capability | Traditional Security Approaches | Human-Centric Healthcare Security |
|---|---|---|
| Human-targeted threats | Focus on infrastructure threats with limited protection across the full attack chain | Stops phishing, BEC, ransomware, and account takeover across email and collaboration tools |
| Patient data protection | Rely on separate tools that create visibility and policy gaps | Protects PHI across email, cloud apps, endpoints, and collaboration with unified controls |
| Human risk visibility | Provide limited visibility into how people interact with sensitive data | Combines user, content, and threat signals to identify negligent, compromised, and malicious activity |
| Clinical communications | Depend on legacy relay infrastructure with limited authentication and visibility | Secures patient communications with authenticated email delivery and monitoring |
| AI governance | Lack unified controls for AI data access and sensitive information protection | Discovers sensitive data, governs AI access, and protects AI prompts, outputs, and workflows |

CUSTOMER STORIES
Proofpoint provides a protection layer between the user and the attacker in the email scenario especially.
Deb Muro
Chief Information Officer, El Camino Health
We can see who clicked the feed streaming emails, who clicked the business email compromises, and really start focusing in on those folks ... keeping out the phishing attacks.
Matt Olson
Exec. Director of Cybersecurity, Providence Health & Services
[AI] recognizes when someone's sending information to their personal email address, presents a warning, and makes them think twice. ... We’ve seen a significant decrease in sending information to personal email addresses.

Frequently Asked Questions
Healthcare organizations protect patient data by applying security measures across email, cloud apps, and endpoints. They prevent data loss from human error, insider risk, and cyberattacks. They also use controls like data loss prevention, encryption, and access governance to protect sensitive patient data and PHI.
Healthcare organizations should look for a cybersecurity solution that protects patient data, stops human-targeted attacks, secures clinical communications, and supports compliance across complex environments. The solution should address phishing, ransomware, business email compromise, data loss, insider risk, cloud collaboration, and AI-driven workflows. It should also provide visibility into who is accessing sensitive data, how it is being shared, and where risk is increasing.
Healthcare organizations can reduce ransomware risk by stopping attacks before they reach users and limiting the impact if an account or system is compromised. Key controls include advanced email security, phishing protection, account takeover detection, security awareness training, endpoint protection, data backup, access governance, and rapid threat response. Because many ransomware attacks begin with human-targeted threats, healthcare security programs should prioritize people, email, identity, and data controls together.
Proofpoint improves healthcare cybersecurity by stopping human-targeted threats and protecting sensitive data across email and cloud environments. It provides real-time visibility into security risks, so teams can respond faster and reduce risk across modern and legacy systems.
It also helps secure AI in healthcare by protecting AI-driven workflows and agents from data leakage, manipulation, and abuse. This ensures interactions between people and AI do not become new attack vectors.
Healthcare organizations can secure AI tools by controlling how AI applications, copilots, and agents access, process, and share sensitive healthcare data. Security teams should discover AI usage, classify sensitive data, enforce policies for prompts and outputs, monitor AI-driven workflows, and prevent PHI from being exposed through unauthorized tools or interactions. AI governance should also include auditability, compliance controls, and protections against misuse or manipulation.
Yes. Proofpoint helps healthcare organizations support HIPAA compliance by protecting protected health information (PHI) across email, cloud apps, and endpoints. It also helps reduce data loss and unauthorized access risk while giving compliance teams visibility and reporting for audit readiness.
