help Proofpoint Email Security FAQ

Does Proofpoint Email Security work with Microsoft 365?

Yes, Proofpoint offers email protection for Microsoft 365 as well as Google environments. Depending on the deployment, it can inspect messages through a mail gateway or augment cloud email security through API-based controls.

What is Proofpoint URL Defense doing to links in my email?

URL Defense rewrites links so a click can be evaluated by Proofpoint's service against current threat information. Rewritten addresses commonly use the urldefense.proofpoint.com domain, which is why the visible link may differ from the sender's original URL.

What is the difference between Proofpoint TAP and TRAP?

Targeted Attack Protection, or TAP, analyzes advanced threats and produces threat alerts. Threat Response Auto-Pull, or TRAP, can use those findings to locate and quarantine malicious messages that have already reached Microsoft Exchange or Microsoft 365 mailboxes.

Can Proofpoint stop phishing emails with harmless-looking attachments?

Proofpoint analyzes message content, sender behavior, links, and attachments rather than relying on a file extension alone. Its sandboxing and threat-classification systems are designed to identify payloads or URLs that become malicious during delivery or after a user clicks.
