Customers now benefit from both new
pre-delivery social engineering and link protection and
post-delivery behavioral AI capabilities to stop the techniques
threat actors depend on
RSA Conference 2024 – Proofpoint, Inc., a leading
cybersecurity and compliance company, today unveiled two
industry-first innovations that redefine email security with the
most comprehensive and effective end-to-end email protection across
the entire email delivery chain. Uniquely combining new
pre-delivery, click-time, and post-delivery detections,
Proofpoint’s enhanced core email security packages now include:
- The industry’s first and only pre-delivery defense against both
social engineering threats and malicious links and;
- New adaptive email security capabilities, offering a fully
integrated layer of behavioral AI-based defense post-delivery to
stop targeted threats such as lateral internal phishing and
advanced email fraud for the most at-risk employees—all while
offering seamless API integration with Microsoft 365
Since 2016, the two most indispensable techniques used by threat
actors have been text-based social engineering and URLs. Losses due
to Business Email Compromise (BEC) have hit a record high of $2.9
billion according to the FBI 2023 Internet Crime Report, and it now
tops the list of most significant cyber threats for CISOs. Every
month, Proofpoint blocks over 66 million attempted BEC attacks
targeting its customers. As attackers have also become more reliant
on URLs, threat volume has surged; Proofpoint detects over 4.5
million unique malicious URLs daily, an increase of 119% in the
last three years.
With both threats, speed kills; Proofpoint’s data set, spanning
trillions of daily messages, shows that one in seven clicks on
malicious URLs occurred within 60 seconds of the message hitting
the inbox, underscoring the criticality of both pre- and
post-delivery protection capabilities.
“The fragmentation across email security solutions allows threat
actors to win, again and again. Organizations need a simple,
unified and effective way to catch every threat, every time, every
way a user may encounter it, using every form of detection,” said
Darren Lee, executive vice-president and general manager, People
Protection Group, Proofpoint. “Combined with our detection ensemble
and email threat intelligence dataset—the largest and most advanced
of its kind—our ability to offer end-to-end pre-delivery and
adaptive email security sets a new bar for the industry.”
Industry-first Pre-delivery LLM-based Detection:
Proofpoint’s new semantic, AI-based detection innovations
provide comprehensive protection before they can reach Microsoft
365 and Google Workplace inboxes and do harm. Leveraging NexusAI,
Proofpoint’s proprietary AI engine built on trillions of data
points, pre-delivery LLM-based detection enables organizations to
stop payloadless social engineering threats such as advanced email
fraud and malicious links.
Now part of Proofpoint’s detection ensemble across all its email
security products, pre-delivery semantic analysis interprets a
threat actor’s message intent regardless of word variation or
language used. This optimizes Proofpoint’s NexusAI-based detection
models by 10X, with close to nil additional processing time. Paired
with Proofpoint’s recent release of the industry’s first
pre-delivery suspicious URL hold and sandboxing capability, these
enhancements create the most formidable set of defense-in-depth
measures available for organizations to prevent attacks from
reaching their targets.
Adaptive Email Security:
Proofpoint Adaptive Email Security is an Integrated Cloud Email
Security (ICES) solution that delivers an additional layer of
behavioral AI-based detection of advanced threats, including BEC,
social engineering, and lateral phishing messages, offering
seamless API integration with Microsoft 365. Adaptive Email
Security can be applied to the riskiest users identified by
Proofpoint’s Targeted Attack Protection, or other potential high
value targets, as informed by Proofpoint’s unique human risk
scoring.
Once deployed, Adaptive Email Security enriches all detections
with easy-to-understand explanations about behavioral anomalies
observed. It automatically quarantines high confidence threats,
while delivering real-time coaching using contextual warning
banners to alert users to the risks in social engineering and
BEC-type emails that don’t contain an obvious malicious
payload.
Adaptive Email Security is available on a rolling basis for
select customers as part of Proofpoint’s standard email security
packages for an organization’s most at-risk employees.
Supporting Quotes:
- “Proofpoint makes good on its mission to protect people and
defend data…[Its] roadmap focuses on the threats posed to
organizations by their suppliers with preemptive protection against
compromised suppliers and BEC attempts via supplier impersonation
or account takeover [...] Security and risk pros looking for a
fully-loaded, infrastructure-and-platform-agnostic email security
solution now committed to evolving with its customers should
consider Proofpoint.” – Forrester, The Forrester Wave™: Enterprise
Email Security, Q2 2023, Jess Burn, June 12, 2023.
- “Attackers will use GenAI. They’ve started with the creation of
more seemingly authentic content, phishing lures and impersonating
humans at scale. The uncertainty about how successfully they can
leverage GenAI for more sophisticated attacks will require more
flexible cybersecurity roadmaps.” Gartner, 4 Ways Generative AI
Will Impact CISOs and Their Teams, D'Hoinne, Jeremy | Litan, Avivah
| Firstbrook, Peter, June 29, 2023.
