Proofpoint Core Email Protection overview

What is Proofpoint Core Email Protection?

Proofpoint Email Protection is a computer security management software designed to help businesses identify and block threats using AI-enabled tools. It offers an advanced business email compromise (BEC) defense feature, which enables administrators to analyze various attributes including message header and senders’ IP address.

Managers can use multilayered detection techniques to classify and block malicious emails based on impostor threats, phishing, malware, and spam. Proofpoint Email Protection allows teams to automatically add warning tags among suspicious emails to alert individuals. Operators can also create mail routing rules and define security policies on a unified interface.

Proofpoint Email Protection provides search functionality, letting stakeholders trace, download, and export reports regarding incoming and outgoing messages across log data. Supervisors can also visualize mailing trends, identify graymail, manage encrypted messages, and review quarantined emails on a centralized dashboard.
