The First and Only Solution by Proofpoint for Cost Reduction and Cybersecurity Risk Mitigation in the Expanding Workspace
Proofpoint Prime Threat Protection simplifies, broadens protection across all digital channels, reduces costs, and introduces AI capability
SUNNYVALE, California – April 22, 2025 – Proofpoint, Inc., a prominent cybersecurity and compliance firm, made a worldwide launch of Proofpoint Prime Threat Protection, the initial and unified human-focused cybersecurity solution merging essential threat defenses—shielding against complex attacks through digital channels, preventing impersonation, and providing risk-oriented employee guidance and training under a single cohesive solution. Developed to safeguard individuals regardless of their work settings, Proofpoint Prime enables sustainable fortification against rising threats while trimming cyber risks and operational expenses for entities.
Amidst the challenging array of disjointed, isolated, and reactive cybersecurity tools encountered by organizations, Proofpoint Prime emerges as the sole consolidated solution merging threat safeguarding and human risk management into uninterrupted operations spanning the entire attack sequence. By integrating real-time threat detection, response, and behavior-based guidance across various communication and digital platforms, Proofpoint Prime diminishes operational costs and overheads; expedites response times; and prepares security teams for a future steered by AI-driven security automation.
With the current proliferation of the digital workspace, where 90% of security breaches involve human factors, threat perpetrators exploit workforce across email, cloud applications, messaging, browsers, file-sharing, collaborative tools, and social networks. Apart from targeting multiple channels, they tactfully utilize diverse methods spanning social manipulation, malicious URLs, identity theft, and compromised accounts to circumvent traditional, dispersed defenses within their multilayered assaults. For instance, the ransomware entity Black Basta executed a sequence starting with email-based subscription bombing, followed by Microsoft Teams messages posing as IT assistance to infiltrate organizational systems.
To counter these multi-stage, multi-channel assaults, contemporary enterprises deploy an average of 45 or more disconnected cybersecurity utilities, each operating with distinct workflows, interfaces, and integrations. Most entities also depend on autonomously operating security awareness platforms segregated from actual threat activities, leading to meager behavioral adjustments and inadequate operational efficacy for security teams. Entities channel millions in managing these silos, while pivotal activities such as incident classification, elimination, and user rectification often confront delays or negligence due to intricacy and personnel shortages.
Distinct from disconnected tools treating threats and human behaviors as isolated challenges, Proofpoint Prime modifies this stance by uniting them into smart operations—transforming signals into practical risk evaluations, streamlining processes, and delivering scalable security. The outcomes: enhanced threat prevention, reduced expenses, quicker response durations, and sustained human resilience. Entities that amalgamate their defenses through a single human-centric security solution have typified savings averaging $2.7M from trimmed risk exposure and evaded $390K in operational expenditures. Proofpoint Prime streamlines deployment with pre-configured integrations and licensing efficiencies, thereby presenting an incomparable business model for contemporary security teams.
“Predatory attacks persist in targeting individuals, and security units are overloaded with isolated software, dispersed threat notifications, and growing expenses,” remarked Darren Lee, executive VP and GM of the Threat Protection Group at Proofpoint. “The present environment of collaboration necessitates an adaptable approach. With Proofpoint Prime, entities no longer need to interconnect dozens of disjointed detection and response mechanisms with training for personnel. It integrates protection across myriad channels and stages of assault, providing entities unparalleled defense and assurance unparalleled in the sector.”
