Express Reduction: How We Eliminated Spam Emails

Recently, we had the opportunity to collaborate with a company to address a significant challenge related to email security. We'll take you behind the scenes and explore how Proofpoint's email security solution transformed their infrastructure and security.

The challenge They faced a continuous stream of fraudulent emails, including sophisticated phishing attacks and an overwhelming amount of spam. These attacks, sometimes highly targeted, demanded increased vigilance from employees. For example, one individual fell victim to a phishing attack where a scammer impersonating the CEO managed to obtain $2,000 under the guise of a corporate gift. Additionally, more elaborate fraud attempts, such as spoofing the sender's email address, were also detected, highlighting potential vulnerabilities in the company's internal processes.

Solution: C’est ici que nous avons proposé l’implantation de Proofpoint, un outil externe avec une solution complète de sécurité des courriels qui s’intègre à la plateforme de courriel Microsoft. En utilisant des technologies telles que DKIM, SPF, et DMARC, ainsi que des fonctionnalités de filtrage avancées et de défense d’URL, nous avons pu détecter et bloquer efficacement les menaces de sécurité des courriels avant qu’elles n’atteignent les boîtes de réception des utilisateurs. En travaillant en étroite collaboration avec notre partenaire, nous avons personnalisé la solution pour répondre spécifiquement aux défis uniques de l’entreprise.

The end result The implementation of the Proofpoint solution has been spectacular. Going from detecting 400 phishing emails per day to 0, we have improved its email security posture, reduced the risk of cyber attacks, and the time it took for users to sift through all those fraudulent emails. Additionally, by reinforcing security awareness through training and phishing tests, it was possible to strengthen its defense against threats.
