Proofpoint Essentials Advanced Plus delivers AI-powered email protection built for high-value targets — private equity, hedge funds, and growth-stage businesses where one successful attack costs millions.
Built for IT Directors, CFOs, and Operations Leaders at firms where wire fraud, vendor impersonation, and executive spoofing are real, daily threats.
Sophisticated attackers go after the firms where the payoff is largest. Advanced Plus gives you the same defensive layer that Fortune 500 security teams rely on.
PE firms are prime targets for wire fraud and executive impersonation — one successful BEC attack can cost millions during a transaction.
Fund managers face sophisticated spear-phishing from nation-state actors and opportunistic criminals — your team is the #1 attack surface.
94% of malware arrives by email, yet most SMBs are underprotected with basic filtering that misses modern BEC and zero-day threats.
Advanced Plus is the only Proofpoint Essentials tier that includes every security feature — no à la carte add-ons, no feature gaps.

IT Director — Manufacturing Company (250 users)
Our certified consultants handle the entire deployment — you stay focused on your business.

Automatic user sync, group-based policies, and provisioning rules applied.
Spam thresholds, BEC rules, custom block/allow lists, and Security Awareness onboarding.
24/7 monitoring, monthly threat reports, quarterly reviews, and policy optimization.
Advanced Plus adds four features not found in any other Proofpoint Essentials tier: AI-powered BEC Defense (catches impersonation that basic filters miss), Predictive URL Defense (real-time link scanning at click-time), Email Warning Tags (visual alerts on suspicious messages), and One-Click Message Pull (instantly retract threats from every inbox). These aren't incremental improvements — they're the difference between catching a $250k wire fraud and missing it.
Most implementations complete in 1–3 business days. Our certified Proofpoint consultants handle the full technical setup: DNS/MX records, Active Directory integration, policy customization, and user onboarding — with zero email downtime during the cutover.
Yes. The plan includes email archiving and encryption built-in. The solution is SOC 2 Type II certified, ISO 27001 compliant, HIPAA Ready, and GDPR compliant. For SEC Rule 17a-4 and FINRA 4370, the archiving feature provides tamper-evident, time-stamped storage with full search and export capabilities.
Email Spooling queues all inbound messages for up to 5 days during server downtime, and the Emergency Inbox provides users direct access to recent messages — so your team can keep working even when your mail server is offline.
Absolutely. Domain Management is included, allowing you to secure and manage multiple domains from a single admin console. This is especially useful for firms with holding companies, SPVs, or portfolio company email domains.
