Partner POV | Adaptive Email Security

This article was written and contributed by our partner, Proofpoint.

Business email compromise (BEC) is a pervasive concern. And the problem is only getting worse. Over the last five years, businesses have seen a staggering increase of 560% in BEC losses.

And with security analysts already unable to handle 67% of the alerts they receive, they need email security workflows tightly integrated. A stronger, more integrated approach is needed to defend against the rising tide of email-based threats.

Stop Phishing and BEC With Adaptive Email Security

Adaptive Email Security augments Proofpoint's core email security with AI-based behavioral and content analysis. It leverages integrated threat intelligence from more than 2.8 trillion emails a year. It uses deep learning, LLMs, NLP and more to check more than 250 data points on every email. It also identifies internal phishing through anomalous email volume and communications when compared with historical email patterns.

Real-Time User Coaching

Adaptive Email Security warning banners display specific reasons why an email might be malicious, helping users make informed security decisions in real time.

Internal Mail Protection

Adaptive Email Security uses behavioral AI to stop lateral phishing. It detects spikes in email volume as well as anomalous communications. It further defends against internal phishing by identifying emails that contain malicious URLs and attachments.
