Advanced Spam Detection, Powered by Proofpoint MLX™
Powered by patent-pending Proofpoint MLX machine learning technology, the Proofpoint Spam Detection™ module examines hundreds of thousands of attributes in every email-including message envelope headers and structure, image properties, sender reputation data as well as unstructured content in the body of messages-to block the most spam, image-based spam and phishing attacks, while automatically adapting to new attacks as they appear.
Proofpoint on Demand automatically keeps your spam protection up-to-date, ensuring maximum effectiveness at all times. Individually controllable spam and adult content scores allow you to enforce zero-tolerance policies against pornographic spam. Anti-phishing features stop the spread of phish and other identity-theft attacks from stealing personal information from employees.
Proofpoint Spam Detection is multi-lingual and offers outstanding accuracy against spam in any language-including hard-to-analyze, multi-byte character languages such as Japanese and Chinese.
Anti-spam protection policies can be customized at the global, group and end-user levels with full integration to LDAP or Active Directory to streamline ongoing administration.
Proofpoint on Demand also takes advantage of Proofpoint's innovative connection management features to block spam and virus from malicious IP addresses with extremely high efficiency. It tests numerous connection-level data points including DNS, MX record verification, SPF, recipient verification and data from Proofpoint's netMLX machine learning-powered reputation service.
Virus Protection and Zero-Hour Anti-Virus Defenses
Through strategic partnerships with leading anti-virus vendors, Proofpoint Virus Protection™ provides complete virus scanning functionality. Virus engines are deeply integrated with Proofpoint's platform, providing convenient, centralized administration of anti-virus policies from the same interface used to manage spam and content policies.
Messages are efficiently scanned for viruses in parallel with spam and message content, protecting end users from viruses, worms and other malicious code. Additionally, the Proofpoint Zero-Hour Anti-Virus™ module protects against emerging viruses in the earliest stages of their proliferation ndash; stopping them hours before competing solutions even begin to react
Comprehensive Data Loss Prevention
In addition to delivering the industry's most effective virus and spam protection. Proofpoint on Demand is also the easiest and most cost-effective way for organizations to prevent leaks of sensitive data via email. Proofpoint's modular data leak prevention features can be deployed as a completely hosted solution, or in Proofpoint's unique hybrid configuration where outbound data loss prevention features are deployed on-premises while inbound email security features are hosted "in the cloud". In either case, data loss prevention features are managed through the same easy-to-use, web-based policy management interface.
Easy Enforcement of Acceptable Use Policies
Proofpoint on Demand gives customers vastly more flexibility than competing solutions for defining and enforcing email acceptable use policies for message content and attachments. The included Proofpoint Content Compliance™ module simplifies the process of defining complex rules related to file types, message size, and message content. These features can be used to identify and prevent a wide variety of inbound and outbound policy violations-including offensive language, harassment, file sharing and violations of external regulations.
Regulatory Compliance: Keep Personal Financial Information and Private Data Secure
More than ever, enterprises need to safeguard the privacy and security of customer and employee data. The Proofpoint Regulatory Compliance™ module enforces best practices for securing private data and protects your organization from liabilities associated with privacy and data security regulations (such as HIPAA, GLBA, PCI, SEC rules and others). Customizable rules, managed dictionaries and "smart identifiers" are used to automatically scan for non-public information-such as protected health information and personal financial information-and reject or encrypt messages as appropriate.
Proofpoint's smart identifiers are more sophisticated than simple regular expressions. They not only look for the correct number of digits or characters, but also perform complex algorithmic processing to minimize flase positives, ensure high detection accuracy and protect personal financial information and protected health information.
Digital Asset Security: Protect Confidential Documents
As email, webmail and other messaging systems have become the most important communication channels, they've also become a conduit for the exposure of sensitive or confidential information. The Proofpoint Digital Asset Security™ module keeps valuable corporate assets and confidential data from leaking outside your organization via email.
Powerful MLX machine learning technology analyzes and classifies your confidential documents and then monitors for that information (or parts of that information) in the outbound message stream ndash; stopping content security breaches before they happen.
Automatically Encrypt Sensitive Information
The Proofpoint Secure Messaging™ module adds powerful, content-aware encryption capabilities to a Proofpoint on Demand deployment, automatically encrypting outbound messages based on customizable policies. It automatically and consistently applies encryption policies, without requiring end-users to take any special actions. Voltage IBE (identity based encryption) technology provides powerful, easy-to-use encryption without the key and certificate management hassles of other solutions.
Web-Based Policy Management and Administration
Proofpoint on Demand's web-based administration interface to Proofpoint's unified policy management framework, ensuring consistent application of corporate messaging policies. The administration console makes it easy to monitor and control all Proofpoint modules and define messaging policies. Different policies can even be defined for different groups of end-users.
The Ajax-based interface gives you "drag and drop" customization of the reports, status information, RSS feeds and other components displayed. Even create "mashups" of information from external sources.
Proofpoint's outstanding ease-of-use extends to end-users as well. Easy-to-understand reports and controls, such as Proofpoint's end-user digest, web-based quarantine and personalized safe- and block-lists, give users complete control over their own spam preferences.
