Why Email Security Matters

Your Inbox Is the #1 Target for Scammers

Over 90% of cyberattacks start with a single email. The basic protection that comes with your email account isn’t enough. Proofpoint adds multiple layers that stop threats before they ever reach your team.

Fake Email Protection

Stops scammers who pretend to be your boss, your bank, or a trusted vendor to trick you into sending money or sharing passwords.

Link & Attachment Scanning

Every link and file attachment is checked for danger before it reaches your inbox, even if it looks completely normal.

Automatic Email Encryption

Emails containing sensitive information are automatically scrambled so only the intended recipient can read them.

Email Backup & Recovery

If your email ever goes down, a backup inbox keeps your team communicating, and restores up to 30 days of messages.

Sensitive Information Filtering

Prevents private customer information, financial records, and confidential files from accidentally being sent outside your company.

✅ All of the above protections are included across both Essentials and 365 Total Protection packages below.

Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

Doesn't my email already have spam filtering?

Yes, but basic spam filtering only catches the obvious stuff. Today’s scammers are much more sophisticated, they send emails that look completely legitimate. Proofpoint goes several layers deeper, catching threats that standard filters miss entirely. Think of it like the difference between a basic door lock and a full security system.

What does a "fake boss email" scam look like?

It’s more common than you’d think. A scammer sends an email that appears to come from your owner, manager, or a trusted vendor, asking an employee to wire money, buy gift cards, or share login credentials urgently. There’s no virus or bad link involved, so basic filters let it through. Proofpoint detects these by analyzing the sender’s identity, not just the content.

What's the difference between the Business and Advanced plans?

Both plans provide strong core email protection. The Advanced plan adds a few extra layers, every link you click in an email is scanned in real time, outgoing emails with sensitive information are automatically encrypted, and your team sees warning labels on suspicious emails so they can make smarter decisions before clicking.

What happens if our email stops working?

Both Essentials plans include a backup inbox that automatically kicks in if your email goes down for any reason, your team can keep sending and receiving without skipping a beat. It also keeps a 30-day history of emails so nothing gets permanently lost.

We're already on Essentials — what does the upgrade to 365 Total Protection mean for us?

Proofpoint is upgrading the Essentials product to a new, more powerful platform called 365 Total Protection over the next couple of years. When that happens, we’ll handle the upgrade for you, your email keeps working, nothing changes on your end, and you’ll actually end up with more features than you have today. We’ll keep you informed well in advance.
