FeatureMost cyberattacks target people, not technology. That is why Proofpoint’s approach to cybersecurity centers around people. The company helps you understand the individual risk people pose and stops the threats that target them and provide the tools they need to stay safe and alert.
With an integrated suite of cloud-based solutions, Proofpoint helps companies and their CISOs to stop targeted threats, safeguard their data, and make their users more resilient against cyberattacks. Proofpoint’s differentiator is that it looks at cybersecurity with a people-centric view and focuses on solutions that protect an organisation’s most targeted individuals.

Proofpoint invests approximately 20% of its revenue back into R&D, aligned with the priority to deliver customer value through innovation. Additionally, Proofpoint has entered a series of lasting technology partnerships within the cybersecurity industry since 2020, including the agreement to integrate the Proofpoint Targeted Attack Protection solution with CyberArk’s Privileged Access Security tool to help identify the most targeted VAPs and implement additional security policies to stop targeted threats before they reach their destination.
In addition, Proofpoint has joined forces with Okta, CrowdStrike and Netskope to protect the dynamic and remote work environments by jointly providing product solutions, expertise, and reference architectures to implement an integrated, zero-trust security strategy for organisations.
2021 will continue to be the stage for many technologies to continue to flourish, including 5G, AI, automation, machine learning and many others.

As technology advances, Proofpoint’s people-centric solutions will continue to protect people against advanced threats and compliance risks beyond traditional network perimeters.

Proofpoint’s commitment towards its partners is reflected in the wide-ranging support and a rich set of technical, sales, and marketing benefits that it provides.
During 2019 and 2020, Proofpoint has increased its channel workforce for the EMEA region, including additional direct support to resellers and managed partners. The company has also invested in a recently launched partner portal and has implemented the industry-leading Impartner partner relationship management system.
The new portal, available in six languages, provides the best features to our partner community, such as seamless integration with Salesforce to provide better reports and dashboards, automation of redundant tasks, agile partner on-boarding, and access to an easy-to-use interface and customised experience.
It is crucial for channel partners to put in place an effective security awareness training.
As organisations move their businesses off premises and into the cloud, channel partners must help them rethink their overall security investments to ensure they are protecting themselves against an entirely new landscape of threats that are primarily targeting people, rather than infrastructure.
Lastly, as the threat landscape becomes more sophisticated, it is crucial for channel partners to put in place an effective and ongoing security awareness training as part of their cybersecurity strategies.
