Today’s threat landscape is fundamentally characterized by social engineering. Attacks increasingly target people, not just technology or infrastructure. And the move to cloud is intensifying that trend. Proofpoint can help you gain visibility, derive insight, and apply adaptive controls based on your greatest cybersecurity risk: your people. And not just your people, but the data they have access to and the behaviors that indicate if they will fall for a modern, social-engineered attack.
