We are currently planning to purchase Proofpoint Email Protection further for TRAP and endpoint security, as we already have TAP implemented.

In my company, I primarily use Proofpoint Email Protection for advanced protection against today's threats. This includes email filtering for malicious content, email encryption, threat protection, and filtering out spam and phishing emails. Additionally, I conduct security simulations for employees and sometimes conduct IT security training.

I am managing the entire Proofpoint Email Protection Email Security applications for one of the largest healthcare industries. The organization uses this tool to protect their entire infrastructure based on email security. Proofpoint Email Protection is one of the leading tools for email security protection, utilizing advanced AI-driven and machine learning technology to review all emails.

Proofpoint Email Protection performs very deep investigation on all incoming emails. It scans through multiple Proofpoint cloud applications such as TAP, TRAP, Email Fraud Defense, a customer support portal, and Proofpoint Security Awareness tool, supporting six to seven applications total. All these applications are cooperated and cloud-native, working together to determine whether an email is actually malicious or not. It is very easy to perform sandboxing of the incoming email, conduct investigations, and run checks on multiple sender intelligence and email firewall rules to easily identify incoming emails. Based on the decision, emails can be allowed, sent, or quarantined at the gateway level.

Proofpoint Email Protection can easily integrate with Office 365 cloud application and should be easy to integrate with Exchange on-prem as well, with both working simultaneously. User sync is easy, SSO configuration is straightforward, and managing all incoming domains on the Proofpoint cluster is simple. Most organizations are moving forward with Proofpoint Email Protection because of these capabilities as it is one solution for many problems.

We generally use this service directly from the vendor. We discuss the requirement and enterprise level design, considering how large, small, or medium the organization is. Based on that assessment, any customer decides whether to go ahead with licensing all features or limited functionality. For big or broader organizations, Proofpoint Email Protection is really helpful because they can utilize all applications for protecting emails. However, for low-size or mid-level organizations, it can be challenging in terms of cost, management, and resource utilization, which could be a problem for low-level enterprises.

I pretty much summarize and cover everything about my main use case or how I use Proofpoint Email Protection.

If I look at the statistics of our daily inbound email, I can gladly say that one of the best features Proofpoint Email Protection offers is that approximately 60 to 65% of the emails that are being targeted to my organization are being blocked. All of the spam, the junk, the bulk, the low reputation, the unwanted emails, and those that have bad intention with viruses are all stopped at the gate. I think this is one of the best use cases that I can call out with Proofpoint Email Protection. The subsequent best use case would be Clear and TRAP, which helps to reduce the time we spend on investigating every email that gets reported from the end user. Lastly, TAP ATO gives us a bit of peace of mind to monitor logins and tell us when there is a suspicious login that we should be aware of.

Before, what would happen in the past is every single email that gets reported, we would have to reply and triage those emails individually. I would look at the email and then have to reply to the reporter and tell them whether this is good or bad, and why. The entire process was manual. With TRAP and Clear working hand in hand together, I have automated analysis. If there is a manual review required, we have pre-configured workflows on Proofpoint Email Protection. All we have to do is trigger the workflow based on what we feel the classification of the reported email is. The percentage is still not up to par. We were expecting more automated classification or automated dispositions from Proofpoint Email Protection. Nevertheless, the good thing is we are not triaging every single email individually and not typing out the reply individually as well. That is a good feature to call out, but I would expect a little more enhancement from Proofpoint Email Protection in the future.

We have seen a reduction in phishing incidents with Proofpoint Email Protection, but not fully. It is not 100%. There are still cracks within the walls of Proofpoint Email Protection that let this type of email in for various reasons. Either the content is sitting behind a password protected page or document. We do see a reduction. I unfortunately cannot put a statistic to it yet, but there is reduction, and this could even be a little better.

I initially brought Proofpoint Email Protection in to stop spam back in the early days when it was mostly just an annoying thing. As the threat landscape expanded to include malware and phishing campaigns, I rode along with their expanded services for those. It covers basically anything email protection related that is used by bad actors as initial access brokers. They have also expanded their services to include URL protection and sandboxing of attachments.

They have expanded their areas in the back end like threat response, pulling emails out that are bad, and giving our security operations centers more insights into what is going on in the email. They have expanded from their initial footprint of email into a broader space for cybersecurity.

Currently, I have Proofpoint Email Protection deployed primarily in the cloud with POD, Proofpoint on Demand. Most organizations where I have been working have it in their POD on Demand, which is a cloud service. They also have other services related to that which are in various places such as AWS. They do not hide the fact that these are cloud and SaaS services, but that is where most of this work is done.

In my organization, the approximate number of users using Proofpoint Email Protection includes 300,000 users from one major organization I retired from, and now I am working with another organization that has about 4,000 users.

I use Proofpoint Email Protection as a standard solution that offers email protection primarily to block phishing and check for malware that might be contained within emails or other suspicious content, which is clarified and categorized. Suspicious content inside the emails does not necessarily have to be attachments but can include links that have been fired in a sandbox. There has been protection in the background about spoofing and some spoofed domains. Mostly, we have not directly used the authentication because it is a recent addition. We are using a different vendor now, but we have been preparing for DMARC, DKIM, SPF, and such cases. No AI analysis has been implemented; primarily, we are handling the email protection itself.

I last used Proofpoint Email Protection in February of 2025. I have been working in my current field with Proofpoint Email Protection for approximately two to three years. I use Proofpoint Email Protection as an email protection service. In my previous company, we used several other email protection services including Viper email security, Mimecast email security, and Zix protection. However, based on my opinion and feedback, I really love Proofpoint Email Protection. Proofpoint Email Protection is intuitive for administrative people and is easier to handle than other services. It is stronger than other services and is easier to configure and apply settings for anti-spam, anti-spoofing, and other tools that the service offers. In my opinion, it was an awesome tool and my favorite to use with the multiple customers that I had in the past.

My main use case for Proofpoint Email Protection is to detect phishing emails or suspicious spam emails incoming to our organization. I will do this with the help of the event names or SPF, DKIM, or DMARC protocols.

When we receive a phishing email, there are two things to check. When I try to ingest the logs from the email gateway, Proofpoint, to Splunk or any SIEM tool that we are using, most of the phishing-related events will be categorized under TI mail data, which is Threat Intel Mail Data. That is the specific event name that I will be looking for. There are some other fields such as spam score and phish score. The higher the spam and phish score, the greater the phishing activity or spam activity may be happening in a user's email inbox. Based on these conditions or fields, I usually try to adjust the use case to detect phishing and spam.

We monitor false positive and false negative cases, and we work on disclaimer, external tagging, TRAP Recall, and TRAP Dashboards.

The best features in Proofpoint Email Protection that I prefer are TRAP Recall, mainly for handling TRAP-related issues.

Email protection and spam detection, along with allow lists, block lists, and whitelisting legitimate domains, are additional features we utilize.

We handle both on-premises and cloud deployments.

We work with SOC analysts on internal infrastructure that depends upon people-centered threats such as phishing, malware, and credential theft. We use behavior-based intelligence to stop malicious content from reaching users. Proofpoint Email Protection reduces noise and improves high-fidelity alerts, prioritizing threat response quickly through integration with SOAR and SIEM tools. This provides better visibility and automated response, allowing analysts to focus on manual email threats.

As a customer of Proofpoint Email Protection, my company uses it. Many of the use cases for Proofpoint Email Protection involve thwarting a lot of email threats, such as phishing, smishing, and many other variants. Proofpoint Email Protection is very email-based, and recently we started doing a lot of custom blocks on it where we implement some YARA rules or other custom patterns to block suspicious payloads from getting into our environment, so our use case is heavily on the email side.

Our main use case for Proofpoint Email Protection is using the whole suite of services, including CASB, DLP, URL protection, email security, and other components.

I have configured 365 email to filter all emails through Proofpoint Email Security, and we have alerts set up for any critical or high severity incidents, receiving alerts for business email compromise and phishing attacks. We also conduct phishing training, which are some of the day-to-day tasks that we use it for.

I have been using Proofpoint Email Protection as a part of our security operation workflow for monitoring and analyzing email-based threats across the organizations. Previously, I managed four clients, and I have been using Proofpoint Email Protection for two of them. Proofpoint Email Protection plays a very critical role in detecting phishing campaigns and malicious attachments and suspicious URLs before they reach the end users. One of the strongest aspects that I have noticed in Proofpoint Email Protection is its phishing and URL defense capability, content it triggres when user interact with any suspisous emails or links or attachments. 

I have used Proofpoint Email Protection for more than two years. In my previous organization, I used Proofpoint Email Protection for approx 2 years.

In my environment, we primarily used the TAP (Targeted Attack Protection) cloud deployment.

I started working with Proofpoint Email Protection one year ago. Before that, I was working as a DLP guy in Data Loss Prevention. When I changed my companies, my current company is more focused towards Proofpoint Email Security. I got to know about email security and started learning. Now I am in a state where I am able to implement the tool, and I know how the policies are being processed and how it is getting done.

Proofpoint Email Protection has certain two modes. The first one is Core Email Protection. I am currently using the P0 bundle, which is offering Core Email Protection with SEG, which is Secure Email Gateway. Apart from that, TAP, which is Targeted Attack Protection, includes URL Defense and Attachment Defense. Apart from that, we have Threat Protection and Cloud Threat Protection. These certain things I have been using.

I am using Core Email Protection.

Proofpoint is for the enterprise customer, and they are focused only on the cloud solution. Some of the solutions are providing on-premises as well, but for email security, they specifically work on the cloud portals.

Our company is working rigorously with Proofpoint as a partner, where we are pitching this solution to the customers that we are handling, positioning the product of email security from Proofpoint. That is why we are more into it.

From a solution architect perspective, I do not have day-to-day operational exposure to Proofpoint Email Protection, but I have conducted multiple demos, design discussions, and solution evaluations focused on email threat protection.

I primarily work with the SaaS deployment model, typically procured through authorized vendors rather than directly from Proofpoint. The environments I support range from 20,000 to 70,000 users, where Proofpoint integrates tightly with SOC operations.

When integrated with a SOC, Proofpoint provides consolidated phishing alerts that are easy for L1 analysts to understand and act upon. Analysts can quickly validate indicators (e.g., via VirusTotal), enrich alerts, and build SOAR automations around phishing response.

As a security engineer, I use Proofpoint Email Protection because it has been implemented for one of our larger customers. I work for an MSP, and we have a large customer, a major European airline, whose entire email security is currently managed with Proofpoint Email Protection. We are subscribed to multiple products including Email Protection, EFD, and Threat Protection. The use case is mainly to control mail flow to and out of the domain. The majority of the use case is to prevent malicious emails from getting through emails by filtering emails using latest threat intel and sender reputation. As a daily breakdown, we fine-tune rules and release emails from quarantine using Targeted Attack Prevention or other Threat Intelligence.

We are the integrator for Proofpoint Email Protection, and for one of our customers, we support the solution. As my organization has a large customer base, we support our clients widely, working as a consultant and integrator for Proofpoint Email Protection products. We assist customers in adapting Proofpoint Email Protection solutions, including email protection and authentication aspects, with email protection being the primary solution. We perform all end-to-end deployments for our customers.

The usual use cases for Proofpoint Email Protection that I work with mostly include defining inbound and outbound policies and fine-tuning email protection rules. We focus on email hygiene, mail delivery issues, defining mail policies, and creating rules based on specific conditions. We also address URL Defense, Attachment Defense, anti-spam, anti-phishing capabilities, and ATP features, while troubleshooting issues such as malware definitions and URL rewrite options, particularly related to Business Email Compromise. Additionally, we work with email authentication protocols such as SPF, DKIM, DMARC, DLP scenarios, and email encryption modules, as all aspects present in Proofpoint Email Protection on Demand instance are addressed.

Customers usually prefer the deployment of Proofpoint Email Protection on cloud solutions, specifically, Proofpoint Email Protection on Demand instance, which is easy to access and administer. However, for certain features such as TRAP, an on-premises solution may be necessary, as it reduces administrative overhead.

Proofpoint Email Protection serves multiple purposes for our organization. We use it as an antispam solution, and while I am a user with some insight into the configuration rather than the administrator, my team helps the admins configure it to function as an antispam system. However, we primarily use it for detecting malicious emails that pass through the antispam layer.

The antispam layer is realized through the Email Protection section. We use the TAP dashboard extensively, along with the Threat Response part and the Report Suspicious Email button, which is a complementary product of Proofpoint known as the phishing button. We utilize all of these tools together.

In my environment, I am using Proofpoint Email Protection for advanced email threat protection. For malware, spam, and virus protection, we are using their email protection module and security module. I determine all policy routes, and all DKIM, DNS, and DMARC records are being managed by Proofpoint for us at the moment. Proofpoint Email Protection is our primary email server gateway for inbound and outbound communication. The MX is pointing to Proofpoint, and Proofpoint Email Protection is acting as the first point of contact for anything coming from outside to our internal users.

I purchased Proofpoint Email Protection through marketplaces. For a couple of years, I completely relying on Microsoft Exchange before adopting Proofpoint Email Protection. After that, I conducted many POCs with Proofpoint and then we recognized Proofpoint and started with Proofpoint on-premise, then I moved to Proofpoint on Demand, and I secured their TAP module, which is the advanced threat protection module. I then moved on to their threat response auto-pull module, and I also opted for the email fraud defense module. I currently have Proofpoint secure email relay, which we are using, and we gradually purchased their license for approximately 3,000 users for their security education platform, which is the Zen-Guide platform. All their modules are connected to each other and communicate very nicely with each other. If a threat is detected after it is delivered to the user's mailbox, Proofpoint Email Protection will still be able to detect it and the threat response will auto-pull it from the user's mailbox, which is a unique feature that I found absent in Microsoft. I have had a very good relationship with Proofpoint Email Protection over the last four years using almost all their available modules and products, and I am talking about using their adaptive email DLP in the future.

My main use case for Proofpoint Email Protection is to handle phishing emails.

When an email comes from a spoofed email or domain, we get alerted, and we check the domain and attachments flowing from that email. Proofpoint directly redirects any suspicious emails to us as an alert, allowing us to check the authentication paths such as SPF, DKIM, and DMARC, and we also analyze the suspicious IPs or domains.

Another use case with Proofpoint TAP involves checking if the URL in the email is blocked or re-injected by Proofpoint. If blocked, it redirects to a sandbox environment to keep users safe from attacks. Re-injected URLs mean the user is protected when they unknowingly click on malicious content.

Our organization is large and has multiple entities that use the solution. 

Our department includes two senior information security analysts and two network analysts. We use the solution and as our main security filter for 90% of emails. Emails come into the domain, hit the gateway firsthand, and the solution filters for spam, phishing, malware, and virus attachments. 

The TAP service integrates with the PPS API connection and analyzes every bit of email that goes through the system. Troublesome domains are blocked automatically without needing to be analyzed. If a specific email address is not blocked, the email gets released. TAP still analyzes the email, identifies whether it is a threat, and details its attributes such as the IP address, subject and content, and URL name. 

All metadata for a threat email is sent from TAP to TRAP which goes back to the user's mailbox and automatically pulls the email so that it disappears. TRAP also identifies if the email has been distributed, even to 10,000 users, and attempts to pull back all instances. TRAP can pull internal emails but not external emails because it does not have access to external systems.

You can blacklist and whitelist sender lists. If you are getting phishing scams that get through the filter, you can end up shutting those down. You can actually block the entire domain so that domain can never email you ever again. 

If there is an external email outside of your network or your company, you can whitelist them if it's an unknown sender, so you don't ever have to worry about missing their emails.
