Overall Satisfaction with Proofpoint Targeted Attack Protection for Email

Proofpoint TAP is used on a shared service mail gateway cluster by our outsourcing services clients. The URL protection prevents users from open websites with malware content. The attachment analyzer is able to detect malware in email content before the mail enters the client's environment and before the standard antispam engine checks the attachment.
  • URL protection with a cloud-based Proofpoint database.
  • Attachment analysis and removal of potentially dangerous content.
  • Support for different languages in international environments for URL protection functions.
  • It is very expensive and it is hard to sell to clients.
