Overall Satisfaction with Proofpoint Targeted Attack Protection for Email

Proofpoint Targeted Attack Protection's primary use for us is the URL rewriting feature, which allows sites linked to in emails to get scanned by Proofpoint before allowing users to visit them. We use this feature for all users across our organization and it is one of our primary defenses against phishing.
  • Post-detection of malicious web-based attacks
  • Trending of types of attacks against our organization
  • URL rewrite feature makes URLs very ugly and sometimes makes users more suspicious
  • Proofpoint Targeted Attack Protection for Email is yet another dashboard for the SOC to watch and respond to, consuming analyst time and brain cycles.
I have not evaluated Proofpoint against other products directly.
Proofpoint Targeted Attack Protection is great for helping leadership understand how other organizations are being attacked and how similar those attacks are or aren't to ours. The historical data that it provides about attacks, campaigns, and tactics can help leaders and managers understand why we make the changes we do to our email security posture.
