Overall Satisfaction with Proofpoint Targeted Attack Protection for Email
Proofpoint TAP is being used by our entire organisation, which is a multi-national company with offices in central Europe. With TAP, we are able to see malicious attachments & links that are being sent to our organisation. It gives us excellent insights into our users and what sort of attacks we are seeing come in.
- URL rewriting. TAP can rewrite URLs to obfuscate potentially harmful links. And if it is harmful, then we can see this in the dashboard and respond appropriately.
- Attachment defense is particularly impressive. We see 99% of attachments which are potentially malicious being blocked.
- Reporting. The reporting in TAP is fantastic and provides great insight into our organisation. It's the sort of reports the senior management are interested in.
- The dashboard can be a bit tricky to understand. There is a lot of info, and it can be confusing at first to figure out what certain phrases mean.
- Drilling down into attack dashboards, I would expect some items to be clickable to get more info. But they are not which means I have to search around for the information I want.
- Again, the effectiveness dashboard does not have a lot of clickable elements, but they look like they should be which is frustrating.
- Proofpoint TAP has helped us pass our annual pen-test, while also working in tandem with TRAP.
- In the last month, we have seen 99% of all potentially malicious attachments blocked and 85% of URL threats blocked.
- We have identified several VAP (very attacked people) who we now have rules created for and keep an eye on for potential threats.
