Many of our customers have been concerned about the growing number of phishing attack vectors. Neil Buckley, our VP of Technical Services had the following to say in connection with this recent post on infosecurity.com.

“Proofpoint and many other security products combat spear-phishing and create an excellent foundation to build effective and efficient process to support risk management of the email platform.  If you don’t have a platform to manage these risks, attend the seminar and get something like this in your priority pipeline. Also consider, spending time on the root cause of a successful spear-phishing attack.  The human behind the keyboard will defeat the best security technology every time, ensure that you are getting the most out of your risk management effort and invest in the training and awareness support programs that truly address the root cause issue, look at complimentary products to Proofpoint, such as Wombat Technologies.”
