Proofpoint Essentials Email Security
The problem: Phishing and business email compromise are getting past your current filter, and it only takes one employee clicking one convincing message to trigger a wire-fraud loss or a ransomware outbreak.
Proofpoint Essentials adds an enterprise-grade layer in front of your mail, so the dangerous messages are stopped before anyone has the chance to click.
From $3.25 per user per month at 10 users, with volume rates down to $2.80 at 500 users. Every rate is published on the pricing page.
Proofpoint Essentials provides enterprise-grade email protection, continuity, and archiving for organizations that cannot afford one successful phishing message. Integrated with StrataMail’s routing and continuity systems, Proofpoint delivers real-time defense against phishing, spoofing, malware, and ransomware threats.
Built on Proofpoint’s advanced threat intelligence, Essentials automatically classifies inbound and outbound messages, preventing data loss and maintaining domain reputation. Businesses gain visibility into user activity and message flows through Proofpoint’s detailed reporting and message-trace features.
Built for spear phishing and impersonation attacks
Ordinary spam filters look for bulk patterns. Spear phishing does not arrive in bulk: it is one message, written for one person, often impersonating an executive or a supplier. Proofpoint Essentials scores sender reputation, display-name spoofing, and URL behaviour on the individual message, which is what catches targeted attacks that volume-based filtering misses.
Which Plan Is Right for You?
Proofpoint Essentials comes in six plans. Business covers baseline filtering both ways with a 30-day emergency inbox. Advanced adds attachment sandboxing and outbound encryption. Professional adds archiving. The plus variants add message retraction, pre-delivery link scanning, warning tags, and business email compromise defence — and those controls do not carry into the non-plus plans above them, which is the detail most people miss.
The full capability matrix shows exactly where every feature switches on.
