Proofpoint Essentials Cybersecurity
Proofpoint Essentials protects your organization from email threats including phishing, malware, spam, and other forms of objectionable or dangerous content.

It’s backed by Proofpoint’s enterprise class security and infrastructure – the same technology that protects some of the largest and most security conscious companies in the world.
Proofpoint Essentials Security Awareness for your business.
They have developed and coined the term ThreatSim® Phishing Simulations. This will reveal how susceptible your end users are to a wide range of phishing and spear-phishing attacks. These simulations test your end user's education and cyber security insight.
Businesses struggle with end-user security training, and they stumble because training comes across as a waste of time. And is not flexible to my schedule.
The Security Awareness platform was developed to prevent, next, next by your end-users with the mouse. You can not afford a hack, or a breach, and this program was designed to get 100% attention of your end-users mind.
Email Security Templates, create a security campaign.
With thousands of different templates across 13 categories, you can assess users on multiple threat types, including:
- Malicious email attachments.
- Unsafe URLs embedded in emails.
- Requests for personal data snatching.
End User Security Training
As a business, you also need to keep your end-user security awareness training up to date with the ever-changing email cyber security attacks.
Proofpoint Essentials Security Awareness Training (SAT) for end-users makes it easy with Campaigns, and you can set those campaigns a year out.
You also need to keep your training up to date with the ever-changing threat landscape. Proofpoint Security Awareness team adds new templates every week to ensure current attack trends are included. Their Dynamic Threat Simulation phishing templates are created from:
- Proofpoint threat intelligence
- Customer requests
- Seasonal trends, like Covid, Christmas, and leading websites like Spotify, Netflix and others.

Proofpoint Essentials Email Encryption
How does ProofPoint Email Encryption work?
It is required for your business to send all outbound emails through the ProofPoint cloud service. ProofPoint will scan all outgoing email, and Artificial Intelligence will look for specific, potentially sensitive content, such as credit card number, social security, or banking information. If an outgoing email is found to contain such material, the email is wrapped in an encryption package, and the email is sent to the recipients to direct them back to the encryption service where one can read and reply to your email. Responses are delivered to your inbox.
ProofPoint Essentials Advanced and Professional plan only come with Email Encryption.
Proofpoint Essentials Email Encryption is available to customers in both US and EU regions.
Technical Details:
- Cryptographic Algorithms
- Message Encryption: AES (256 bit)
- Digital Signature: ECDSA

What are the steps of email encryption?
| Step | Description |
|---|---|
| 1 | The sender composes an email and hits send. |
| 2 | The email is sent to Proofpoint Essentials (over TLS) where the content is analyzed to determine if there are any filters that apply to the message. |
| 3 | An encryption filter has been created and applies to the email. |
| 4 | If the filter conditions for encryption are not met, the message proceeds forward with standard routing. |
| 5 | The email is delivered to and stored in the Encryption portal. (Expires after 15 days) |
| 6 | A notification email is sent to the original sender (e.g., "Your email was encrypted"). |
| 7 | A notification email is sent to each recipient (e.g., "You have received an encrypted email"). |
| 8 | The recipient clicks on the link in the email to view the content via the Encryption portal. |
| 9 | The recipient registers (one-time) to the service and reads the email. |
| 10 | The recipient replies to the email. |
| 11 | The reply is sent to the original sender (over TLS) and delivered to their inbox. |
