Stop BEC, Phishing & Zero-Day Threats
Before They Reach Your Inbox
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.
Purpose-Built for High-Value Targets
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.
Private Equity Firms
PE firms are prime targets for wire fraud and executive impersonation — one successful BEC attack can cost millions during a transaction.
- Block vendor payment fraud during M&A activity
- Protect LP communications from spoofing
- SEC 17a-4 compliant email archiving
- Enforce email policies across portfolio companies
Hedge Funds
Fund managers face sophisticated spear-phishing from nation-state actors and opportunistic criminals — your team is the #1 attack surface.

- FINRA and SEC-compliant archiving built in
- Real-time URL scanning at click-time

Small & Mid-Size Businesses

- Enterprise-grade protection at SMB-friendly pricing

- Automatic user sync from Active Directory
- Monthly threat reports — no in-house security team needed

💬 Frequently Asked Questions
What makes Advanced Plus different from lower-tier Proofpoint plans?
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.
How fast can this be deployed for our firm?
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.
Does it satisfy SEC, FINRA, and HIPAA compliance requirements?
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.
What happens to our emails during a server outage or migration?
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.
Can Advanced Plus protect multiple domains under one account?
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.
How is pricing calculated?
Pricing is per-user/per-month, starting at 5 users. Volume discounts are available for larger organizations. Contact us for a custom quote — we'll match you to the right deployment size and support tier, and can often beat pricing you've seen elsewhere as a certified reseller.
Stop the Next Attack Before It Happens
Custom pricing based on your team size and requirements. 5-user minimum. Monthly billing available. Includes full onboarding from our certified Proofpoint consultants.
