Proofpoint Enterprise DLP Reviews

My main use case for Proofpoint Enterprise DLP is to maintain a proper security portfolio and usage for our key data in our organization and to satisfy compliance.

A specific example of how I use Proofpoint Enterprise DLP for compliance and protecting key data is that we have two types of critical data. One is personal information with some credit card information that we need to ensure only certain users have access to and that is protected. The second type is certain data that only departments such as Accounts Receivable have access to, and we need to ensure that it is in use.

I don't think there are any other unique ways we're using Proofpoint Enterprise DLP; it's standard practice.

Proofpoint Enterprise DLP has positively impacted my organization by keeping us secure and making us aware of whether any critical information is in motion or at risk, and furthermore, whether there are employees that have malicious intent or malicious actions.

Proofpoint helps me detect those risky employee actions by showing alerts on the data that was moved, and it shows us who is doing that and what they are doing. If they have malicious intent, we can identify what they are sending and often who they are sending it to.

The best features Proofpoint Enterprise DLP offers, in my opinion, are the interface and the GUI and the interconnectivity of some of their other platforms.

When I mention interconnectivity, I specifically refer to the email product and also the full platform integration that Proofpoint offers. There are a bunch of their other products that we utilize and they have ease of use.

If I had to think of one area that could use a little more polish, I do think putting more and more things into the integration of the full platform and portfolio is great to take multiple risk variants and provide alerts to the security organization and administrators.

I have been using Proofpoint Enterprise DLP for two years.

Those integration aspects are great for our organization. I provided feedback on the features of Proofpoint Enterprise DLP and I appreciate the opportunity to share my thoughts. I gave this review a rating of seven.

I have been using Proofpoint Enterprise DLP at my company for the last two or three years. When I joined, the organization was already using Proofpoint. I really appreciate it for the email security and their TRAP module and TAP dashboard, which provide pre-delivery or post-delivery protection. I value the post-delivery protection and all of the modules that Proofpoint provides.

Currently, I am using Proofpoint Enterprise DLP specifically for email security. I am planning to explore whether we can use it for data security, as I was not previously aware of that capability. In today's session, I learned about how we can use Proofpoint Enterprise DLP for data security, but currently, we are using it for email security only. We use it to find sensitive data in email and to restrict that sensitive data from being forwarded to external email accounts, thus providing email security.

Basically, I am using Proofpoint Enterprise DLP from the email security perspective. I use it to find sensitive data to ensure that no SIN numbers, credit card information, or other sensitive information is shared with external parties or unauthorized users. We have created rules in our email system so that users cannot forward company email to personal email accounts. This type of security has been implemented in Proofpoint.

I recommend using Proofpoint Enterprise DLP for email security because we have already successfully used it for that purpose. I would also want to use it for data security to have a better experience. My experience with email security has been really good, as it blocks thousands of emails, whether they are Business Email Compromise, confidential credential compromise threats, telephone-oriented attack delivery, or ransomware attacks. It protects us from thousands of attacks, and I really recommend this tool to others.

First, I really appreciate the dashboard. Proofpoint Enterprise DLP dashboard clearly provides me with a proper explanation of whether a user clicked a malicious link or not and how many emails we have received. If we see one alert that a user clicked on a malicious link and the malicious email was delivered to the user's inbox, we can check in the dashboard how many total malicious emails have been delivered in our environment. Another feature I appreciate is that if a malicious email is delivered to the user's inbox, Proofpoint Enterprise DLP TRAP dashboard, if in the sandbox environment the email is later considered as malicious, Proofpoint Enterprise DLP TRAP pulls that email from the user's inbox if the user has not opened that email and deletes that email from the user's inbox. I really value that quality. Additionally, we can use Proofpoint Enterprise DLP TRAP dashboard to quarantine the email from the user's inbox if the user reports an email. Another feature I appreciate is that sometimes if a user clicks a malicious link, we have the option in Proofpoint Enterprise DLP to automatically disable that user's account. We do not need to worry if a user clicked a malicious link at night, as Proofpoint Enterprise DLP automatically disables that account.

I have already explained the Proofpoint Enterprise DLP Protection Server, Proofpoint Enterprise DLP TRAP module, and Proofpoint Enterprise DLP TAP dashboard, and how we can have a unified view if a user clicked any link and how many emails are currently delivered in our account if those emails are malicious, how we can pull that email from the user's inbox, and how we can automatically disable that account if the account gets compromised. I really value these features.

Personally, I believe that Proofpoint Enterprise DLP really adds value among all of the security tools we are currently using in our organization. This is my honest opinion because I really appreciate the support that Proofpoint Enterprise DLP provides and how many malicious emails are blocked by Proofpoint Enterprise DLP, such as Business Email Compromise attack, telephone-oriented attack delivery, and other ransomware attacks. Proofpoint Enterprise DLP categorizes these emails and blocks them automatically in the sandbox environment. I really find it valuable and I believe that during the day, we block thousands of emails, which keeps our organization secure.

Frankly speaking, I currently do not remember the specific metrics, but I know that when I provide a report to my senior management from the last thirty days or a quarterly report, I categorize how many Business Email Compromise attacks, how many telephone-oriented attacks, and how many ransomware attacks have occurred. From the data from the last ninety days, there are approximately three thousand five hundred to three thousand seven hundred emails blocked that are Business Email Compromise attacks that are automatically blocked by Proofpoint Enterprise DLP.

I have not worked directly with a Proofpoint Enterprise DLP support engineer account manager. My manager has worked with that. Proofpoint Enterprise DLP definitely has a higher cost compared to other email security tools, but some good solutions come at a cost. The cost value corresponds with their functionality, but the cost is definitely more compared to other tools.

I would now like to use Proofpoint Enterprise DLP for data security. Since we are currently using it for email security only, I would like to expand to data security. In today's session, I learned that Proofpoint Enterprise DLP can be used for data security and for human-centric AI. I would like to use that module in our organization if possible.

The user interface is quite good and the dashboard is really good. Regarding the support that Proofpoint Enterprise DLP provides, that is already good. I would want to know if we can use it for data security and for Active Directory accounts. For example, if someone tries to log in suspiciously, that account should be automatically disabled. Additionally, if we can use Proofpoint Enterprise DLP data security on the file server, and if users try to encrypt the files, it will detect that and generate an alert, that would be helpful.

I have already explained that I have had a very good experience with Proofpoint Enterprise DLP. I am satisfied with the customer support and with the email security. I am also satisfied with the dashboard.

I have been working at the Town of Milton since last year.

Regarding the effectiveness of Proofpoint Enterprise DLP, it is really good in cases of email security and analyzing user behavior. If an email is delivered to the user's inbox, I can check whether the user clicked a link or not. I can check in Proofpoint Enterprise DLP TAP dashboard whether the user clicked a malicious link or not and whether there is an effect on the user system by clicking the malicious link. It also automatically blocks that sender if the sender is malicious. I really value that feature.

Proofpoint Enterprise DLP's scalability is good and we do not have any issues with that.

The unified platform is really important to find the root cause of the issue, such as how the problem arises, when the user clicked a link, how many users received the malicious email, and what the impact is. To find the root cause and to analyze the attack pattern on how it is entering our environment is really helpful with a unified view.

I am not aware of the Autolearn classifier because perhaps my other team members are working on that. They are the ones configuring Proofpoint Enterprise DLP servers. I do not have any information about this. I am basically checking the alerts and how the email is delivered to the user's inbox.

I do not have any information about previous solutions because I have been working in the organization for the last year, and when I joined, the organization was already using Proofpoint Enterprise DLP.

Previously Proofpoint Enterprise DLP was on-premises. Now we have migrated it to the cloud. Currently, we are in the process of migration and we have almost completed the migration to the cloud. Only the outgoing bound emails are still on-premises, and we will shortly move those into the cloud.

The team evaluated other options as well before starting to use Proofpoint Enterprise DLP, but when they started using it, I was not yet in the organization. So I do not know which tools they evaluated, but they definitely evaluated other tools as well.

I do not have any information about the investment because I am working on the security alerts and security metrics.

I have provided my feedback on Proofpoint Enterprise DLP and I give this product a rating of ten out of ten.

Proofpoint Enterprise DLP is helping us monitor who is doing what and who is sharing data over emails, whether within the organization or outside the organization. The most primary use case is securing our data and ensuring customer confidential information is not shared outside the organization.

One classic example is tracking whether any PII information, such as Aadhaar card numbers, account numbers, employee IDs, or professional email addresses in India, are being shared outside the organization.

Proofpoint Enterprise DLP provides many out-of-the-box use cases and best practices which help us utilize those and, to some extent, edit them as per our requirements to segregate the data.

Data recovery and classification is valuable, as it classifies where sensitive data such as PII information, IP, or financial data lives and helps classify it according to the data segregation or data category it falls into.

It has helped us tremendously to ensure our esteemed customers that whatever data our SMEs, security practice team, or SecOps team uses or may access from their customer data is being kept safe with us and is not being shared across the organization or outside the organization. That is one of the assurances we can give to customers while relying on Proofpoint Enterprise DLP.

I have examples where a few team members or employees mistakenly, or maybe intentionally, shared customer data over email, and those were caught by Proofpoint Enterprise DLP. This triggers an alert to our security team, and they immediately investigate those emails and the data. That helps us educate our employees and set up awareness trainings for them so that they are aware of which data can be shared over email and which should not be.

Currently, it seems to have all the features enabled. However, if Proofpoint could create some custom or out-of-the-box dashboards which help the organization, or CIO or CISO-level people, to get a view of how much data is being shared within a week or month, they could plan internal trainings or speak to their cybersecurity teams to improve the security posture or the use cases they have deployed.

Custom or out-of-the-box dashboards for CIO or CXO level people would help more.

I have been in cybersecurity for ten years since 2016.

Proofpoint Enterprise DLP is quite stable. I have not seen any downtime or anything of that nature.

Proofpoint Enterprise DLP is scalable and configurable and can support any kind of infrastructure and any kind of networks. Scalability-wise, Proofpoint Enterprise DLP is fine.

Customer support is excellent. They provide support as per the SLAs they have, depending upon the situation and depending upon the case we open with them. Support is perfectly fine.

Positive

We are using Proofpoint Enterprise DLP currently. We did not work on another solution and migrate to Proofpoint.

Integrations, support, and other things are easy to use, more user-friendly and architect-friendly. I do not have anything to add.

We do have a partnership or alliance team who help us in setting up, initiating discussions, or taking them to the final stage or the solutioning stage.

The return on the investment is in securing the organization data, training the people, and making sure that the data which lies with our organization or our department is safe.

The market value or market standard which Proofpoint holds means the cost is as per the services they offer. The licensing model is perfectly fine.

We did not explore other options because we know what kind of services or assurance Proofpoint gave customers, so we chose Proofpoint directly.

Based on our experience and my experience, I usually prefer to recommend Proofpoint Enterprise DLP to customers and friends who are working in other organizations. I convince them with the level of services or level of assurance we are getting from Proofpoint Enterprise DLP. I share my experience with them to encourage them to opt for Proofpoint Enterprise DLP. I would rate this product a nine out of ten.

One of the main reasons that our customers seem to be using Proofpoint Enterprise DLP is for email security and also the built-in training features.

Proofpoint Enterprise DLP is absolutely used to prevent phishing and data mining, which most of the customers I work with really appreciate. The training features that are built in allow them to customize for each agent's specific needs.

The features that allow them to protect their emails and servers using Proofpoint Enterprise DLP are valuable.

The threat detection is really excellent with Proofpoint Enterprise DLP and the way that it is able to see the threats before they become or before they enter the company is remarkable.

Threat detection is the main highlight from my customer's perspective.

I don't necessarily use Proofpoint Enterprise DLP, but my customers purchase it from me.

I didn't hear anything specific about how Proofpoint Enterprise DLP has impacted my customers' organizations positively, but everybody seems very satisfied. My customers have never mentioned feeling more confident or secure after deploying Proofpoint Enterprise DLP or experiencing fewer incidents. I give this review a rating of 10.
