Proofpoint Security Awareness Training

Formerly Wombat Security

PSAT (Proofpoint Security Awareness Training) has been selected over another competitors, due to its large experience on phishing/e-mail protection. We rely on PSAT to recommend to our customers as so internal use.

Most of the environments are allowed to use it, due to its easy way to run. In our experience, We didn't find any problem at any size of company so far.

Proofpoint Security Awareness Training is used for phishing simulations and end user education across the company. It's been the most effective way for teaching our users how to spot phishing attacks AND also easily report the phishing emails for response by our security operations team.

As part of our Cyber Security controls, we were required to do Security Awareness Training for our staff. In the first year, we did it as an in person session. However, the following year we came across the Proofpoint Solution. We now use it for Security Awareness Training for our staff across the whole organization, and also for phishing simulation exercises.

We're using Proofpoint for security awareness training courses and phishing simulations for the whole company.

We use Proofpoint's ThreatSim phishing simulator and training modules to educate our end-users about phishing and security awareness; PhishAlarm to allow our end-users to report suspicious email, and PhishAlarm Analyzer to help us with triaging suspicious emails that are reported. These solutions are used across our entire enterprise at WestCare.

We use this platform as a part of our cyber-security awareness program in which we send simulated phishing emails to our employees to see if they click on the link or attachments. It is being utilized throughout the entire organization.

We are utilizing the Proofpoint Security Awareness Training across all lines of business at this time. This platform allows us to educate our employees about various IT Security related threats that they are likely to encounter. We also use it for metrics as it relates to education improvement as well as compliance (for Cyber Security Insurance purposes).

We use a few of their modules. i.e. PhishAlarm, ThreatSim, and CyberStrength. We use PhishAlarm to let users notify IT when they get phishing emails. These notifications get sent to all of members of a distribution list where the team will review them. We use ThreatSim to send out phishing emails to test our users on their cybersecurity education through the CyberStrength module.

We use PSAT across our whole company. We use the training modules with our LMS solution and the phish campaigns. The phish campaigns have had a positive influence on our users. We have almost 50% of our users using the report phish button in Outlook.

Proofpoint Security was used by our organization for about a year. It was used to deliver security training to the entire organization. It addressed the need for training in the area of cybersecurity.

The company needed to provide online security training as opposed to face-to-face training. Users across the whole company and its affiliates have started using the system, and the aim is to satisfy audit and compliance requirements while providing the employees with proper security awareness training and knowledge. Training is provided in a systematic manner without overloading the employees.

Currently, Proofpoint Security Awareness Training is being used company-wide with a few of the courses (phishing). With the IT staff, more of the modules are being assigned. We are also assigning the Intro to Phishing to all of our third-party distributors globally. So far, we have been getting favorable reviews from the training. I've also had a few other departments assess and give feedback on a few of the modules.

We are using Proofpoint Security Awareness Traning across the whole organization. We have a problem with email attacks and we are using videos, posters, education modules, and phishing attack simulation to improve our security culture. I am using all Proofpoint capabilities for more than 12.500 users.

We use Proofpoint Security Awareness Training to empower our user-base with knowledge and techniques to combat information security breaches both at work and at home. Proofpoint is used by the entire organization, with the IT department coordinating phishing simulations, testing, and more on a set schedule. Teaching our users how to properly avoid hazardous links, unsafe sites, and social engineering helps to make our environment more safe and keep our employee's data safe at work, and at home.

We use it for Security Awareness training for our employees. This is done every month. In addition, new employees are given catch up modules to complete during their first few weeks of employment. It has definitely made employees more security conscious and they now take a step back before doing what they use to do with emails in regards to clicking on links, downloading attachments, etc. We also run phishing campaigns to keep them on their toes. We have seen significant increases in each campaign as fewer and fewer users get tricked.

We are currently using Proofpoint across our entire organization. In the past, even with email filtering, endpoint and UTM protection, we still had a case of ransomware. Proofpoint is not the last defense for us in that chain, but the first and best.

Our company recently purchased Proofpoint Security Awareness to be used across our organization for security training. We realized that in order to keep our company safe it is important to educate our employees. We have been using the phishing campaigns, as well as the training modules.
We have been phishing different departments across the company to get an initial "click" rate. The week after the initial "phish" we then send the department through a training module. The third week they are "phished" again. This process has continued until the whole company has gone through this first phase. Going forward our plan is to add a Proofpoint Module to our New Hire orientation, and we plan to do Quarterly Campaigns across the organization on different security topics.

We use Proofpoint to perform phishing exercises with the intention of raising awareness for that type of attack. Users who fall for the phish are shown educational messages about how they can better judge their emails and hopefully not fall for them in the future. There is also a phish alarm plugin for outlook that we are experimenting with.

We use Proofpoint Security Awareness Training accross the whole organization to manage our IT security awareness campaign to all users.
It permit to sensitize about risks linked to business activities : working remotely, surfing in an unsecured way, don't be careful with personal data etc. Moreover the product permit to adress the topics related to phishing attacks, through modules, training sessions and phishing campaigns

It's helping us meet compliance requirements by providing security training to all internal users at the Company, specifically focusing on phishing threats. We provide new employee as well as ongoing security training for all employees and perform phishing exercises with Proofpoint on a regular basis in order to keep information security at the forefront of all employees minds.

We currently use Wombat across the whole organization, it is deployed by my department (IT) to the rest of the company. We use Wombat to address phishing attempts via email to our end users as we continue to grow as a company. Pushing security awareness has become an important piece to ensure that our company stays successful and continues to push forward.

We use Proofpoint across the organization as our Phishiing Simulation platform. It allows us to phish our employees safely and compare the results between campaigns to measure our progress. Users can be assigned automatic training and they provide short teachable moments as well if they click on a link or other item contained in the message.

We specifically use Proofpoint to train staff on staying safe from social engineers who create phishing campaigns to gather information or breach our network. Being able to create our own in-house campaigns allows us to test and identify weak points in our system and then educate our staff members on way to take precautionary steps to avoid falling victim to phishing campaigns. The weakest point in our systems, to not fault of their own, are always people. We use Proofpoint to help educate our people to be proactive in keep their own and our organizations data safe.

This training is used across the agency. We are using it to raise IT Security awareness with employees to meet HIPAA regulatory requirements.
