Overall Satisfaction with Proofpoint Targeted Attack Protection (TAP)

We currently utilize Proofpoint Targeted Attack Protection to safeguard our users from inadvertently clicking on malicious phishing links. This advanced security solution not only prevents potential threats but also assists us in conducting thorough investigations whenever users fall victim to phishing attempts, ensuring a comprehensive approach to our cybersecurity operations.

Pros

  • Notifying of malicious clicks.
  • Click rate metrics.
  • Historical searches on user's and their clicks.

Cons

  • Submitting false positives.
  • Submitting false negatives.
  • Better integrations with other tools.
  • Helped our team be proactive with phishing threats.
  • Helped us respond to click events swiftly.
  • It has sometimes missed attacks.
  • Identifying clicks when the recipient is on a distribution list is not very accurate.
The interface is simple to use but still contains the information needed to conduct thorough investigations. If you own licenses for other Proofpoint tools, Proofpoint Targeted Attack Protection is easily accessible from those applications. The ability to sandbox URLs within the TAP interface is a great feature as well. The overall performance of the GUI is seamless, especially if enabled with your organization's SSO.
While both Abnormal Security and Proofpoint Targeted Attack Protection are email-based security applications, they each have their specific strengths. Abnormal is a great "first line of defense" with its machine learning capabilities and proactively blocking malicious or spam emails. Proofpoint Targeted Attack Protection is for when applications like Abnormal Security fail and let malicious phishing emails through.
