Powered by NexusAI, our advanced machine learning technology, Email Security efficiently processes all types of emails. It detects and blocks threats that do not involve malicious payloads, such as business email compromise (BEC), with our advanced BEC protection. You can also automatically report suspicious emails to improve user awareness. And you can see any email in seconds. Additionally, our extensive email filter controls spam, bulk spam and other unwanted emails.

Proofpoint Advanced BEC Defense, powered by NexusAI, is designed to stop various types of email fraud. This includes chargebacks and vendor billing fraud from compromised accounts. For these types of threats, you need a more sophisticated detection system because it is usually less expensive to detect. With Advanced BEC Defense, you benefit from a search engine based on AI and machine learning. It is specially designed to detect and stop BEC attacks. It analyzes several information characteristics, such as:

Header information

Sender's IP address (derived from IP x and name)

Same message for quick and word/speech, and more

It determines whether this message is a BEC threat. It also detects various attack methods, such as response pivots, use of malicious IP addresses, and use of malicious provider domains. Advanced BEC protection also gives you complete visibility into BEC threat details. It provides BEC topics (such as merchant billing, gift cards, reward redirects), insights into why the message is suspicious, and sample messages. These key details help your security team better understand and communicate about the attack.

We use multiple detection methods, including reputation and content analysis, to help you defend against emerging threats. With Email Protection, you benefit from the strict classification of different emails. These include phishing emails, malware, BEC threats, bulk emails, spam, etc.
