Partnership Overview

Defend every attack surface, together

Proofpoint and CrowdStrike combine people-centric security with world-class endpoint intelligence to secure humans and agents while empowering the agentic SOC. Together, we provide correlated detection and coordinated response across payload, SaaS apps, and identity, powered by the Proofpoint Nexus AI platform and the CrowdStrike Falcon Platform. The result is a unified security posture that stops threats earlier, accelerates remediation, and gives SOC teams the visibility they need to stay ahead.

Correlated detection and coordinated response

Stop threats across email, cloud apps, and endpoints with integrated intelligence from Proofpoint Nexus and the CrowdStrike Falcon Platform. 

Unified visibility across your SOC

Give analysts a single, correlated picture of every attack with shared telemetry between Proofpoint Core Email Protection SIEM API and CrowdStrike Falcon LogScale.

Faster mean time to remediation

Reduce manual investigation time and help your team respond at machine speed via automated workflows across platforms.

Expanding Attack Surfaces

Attackers move laterally—your defenses should too

Today, 94% of human-targeted attacks begin with email, but the full attack chain spans email inboxes, cloud applications, and endpoints. Security teams working with siloed tools miss the connections between these events, giving attackers time to move laterally and escalate access before defenders can respond. Organizations need a platform that correlates signals across all three attack surfaces and coordinates automated response.

Payload Intelligence

Stop malicious files before they can execute, at every stage of delivery

Proofpoint threat intelligence integrates pre-delivery, post-delivery, and internal file sandboxing with CrowdStrike Falcon Intelligence for real-time file reputation scoring. When an attachment is received, Proofpoint simultaneously sandboxes unknown files and queries CrowdStrike for a reputation verdict. If either flags the file as malicious, the email is condemned before reaching the user. Proofpoint’s Insider Threat Management also detects file uploads and calls Falcon Intelligence for reputation, closing the data exfiltration gap.

Pre/Post/Internal Sandboxing

Scan all inbound, outbound, and internal email attachments in real time, catching threats before, during, and after delivery.

Falcon Intelligence Lookups

Query CrowdStrike Falcon Intelligence for file reputation on every unknown attachment, combining two best-of-breed threat databases.

Cloud DLP File Upload Inspection

Detect and inspect files uploaded to cloud services via Proofpoint Cloud DLP, with CrowdStrike verdict to auto-quarantine malicious uploads.

SaaS Intelligence

Control cloud app access and detect lateral movement with coordinated intelligence

Proofpoint Account Takeover Protection checks the CrowdStrike Falcon Next-Gen Identity Security risk score before allowing cloud application access, automatically isolating or blocking high-risk sessions. Proofpoint Shadow deception technology detects lateral movement on endpoints and alerts CrowdStrike Falcon Insight XDR to isolate the compromised host before attackers can escalate.

Account Takeover Protection + Falcon Next-Gen Identity Security

Falcon Next-Gen Identity Security provides risk scores on every cloud access request. Apply allow, isolate, or block policies dynamically.

Proofpoint Shadow → CrowdStrike Falcon Insight XDR

Detect lateral movement with zero false positives via Proofpoint Shadow deception, and alert CrowdStrike Falcon XDR to isolate the host in real time.

Unified Visibility

See the full attack chain, from inbox to endpoint, in one place

Proofpoint Core Email Protection shares log data with Falcon LogScale via the SIEM API, giving SOC teams a correlated, real-time view of the entire threat landscape, from initial email delivery through endpoint activity and cloud access. Analysts can pivot between Proofpoint detections and CrowdStrike telemetry without switching consoles, greatly reducing time to investigation and response. This shared visibility turns two best-of-breed platforms into a unified agentic SOC.

Proofpoint Core Email Protection SIEM API → CrowdStrike Falcon LogScale

Stream Proofpoint detection and response logs into CrowdStrike Falcon LogScale for unified search, alerting, and correlation across your entire security stack.

Agentic SOC Workflows

Automate cross-platform investigations with shared threat context, enabling analysts to detect, triage, and respond at machine speed without manual correlation.

Frequently Asked Questions

Proofpoint and CrowdStrike share threat intelligence across three core capability areas: Payload Intelligence (file sandboxing + Falcon Intelligence reputation), SaaS Intelligence (Account Takeover Protection + Falcon Next-Gen Identity, Shadow + Falcon Insight XDR), and Unified Visibility (Core Email Protection SIEM API + CrowdStrike Falcon LogScale). Together, these integrations deliver correlated detection and coordinated response across the full attack chain.

Securing Humans. Empowering the Agentic SOC. Customer Value 1 is correlated detection with coordinated response across payload, SaaS, and identity. Customer Value 2 is unified visibility—sharing log data and telemetry so analysts see the complete attack chain from a single pane of glass.

CrowdStrike Falcon LogScale is a high-performance log management and SIEM platform. Proofpoint streams detection and response telemetry from the TAP SIEM API directly into LogScale, enabling SOC analysts to correlate email, cloud, and endpoint events in a single search interface — reducing investigation time and eliminating alert fatigue from siloed tools.
