Overview
Without understanding user risk, security controls and awareness programs are blind.
Most cybersecurity issues can be traced back to human error. Although many organisations have security controls and some form of security awareness education in place to mitigate this issue, they lack visibility into where their human risk lies. Without knowing their most vulnerable users, organisations cannot protect them adequately, nor prepare them to recognise and prevent attacks.

Benefits
Unlock full user risk visibility and drive behaviour change.
Proofpoint human-centric intelligence provides invaluable insights into vulnerable, privileged, and targeted individuals within the organisation, pinpointing those most likely to be compromised and enabling organisations to apply their strongest human-centric controls where they will mitigate the most risk.
Proofpoint Security Awareness empowers your people with a user-centric and threat-driven program that drives behaviour change and builds sustainable security habits.
Our approach unifies behavioural science-proven nudges, tailored microlearning, and programs that incorporate actual threats faced by employees, driving behaviour change and building sustainable security cultures that measurably improve over time.
Identify Risk
Identify vulnerable, attacked, and privileged (VAPs) individuals within the organisation and who are most likely to be compromised.
Adaptive Protection
Protect your most risky and privileged used with specific security controls.
Change Unsafe Behaviour
Create sustainable security habits by using personalised content for each user’s needs.
Evaluate and Scale
Measure performance and make group wide decisions with multitenant administration.
Report Back
We measure behavioural metrics that matter to your executive leadership.
Products
Turn your employees into active defenders
Focus on true risk within your organisation
Proofpoint identifies vulnerable users using multiple methods— we identify what users know with adaptive learning assessments; what users do when faced with threats with phishing simulations that mimic real-world attacks; and what users believe with short and concise assessments.
Powerful integrations
Integrated with Proofpoint Threat Protection, we unveil Very Attacked People and top clickers. Nexus People Risk Explorer (NPRE) quantifies people risk by considering user vulnerability, attack index, and business privilege, revealing the riskiest users.
Drive true change and sustainable habits
Proofpoint provides users with a personalised learning experience that aligns with their role, vulnerabilities, competencies, and language. We keep users resilient against today’s threat landscape by educating them on trending threats with our threat-driven content. Proofpoint creates a security awareness culture that results in many customers seeing a 40% decrease in clicks on real world threats and a 90% reduction in malware infections.
Better Communicate people risk and program impact
Proofpoint Nexus People Risk Explorer gives security executives a comprehensive but simple report summarising the risk people pose to the rest of the organisation. Proofpoint Security Awareness provides behavioural metrics that matter to your executive leadership.
Accelerate threat investigation and response
Proofpoint Security Awareness makes it easy for end users to report suspicious messages. When integrated with Threat Response Auto-Pull, Proofpoint can automate the analysis and remediation of end-user reported emails, thus reducing manual work for the incident
response team.
