Quantifying the Business Value of Enterprise DLP: Analyst Insights with Enterprise Strategy Group and Proofpoint

Aujourd'hui, les pirates ne se contentent pas de tromper les utilisateurs : ils diffusent des charges utiles telles que des URL de phishing et des pièces jointes contenant des logiciels malveillants, conçues pour voler des données et compromettre les systèmes. 

Au cours de ce webinaire de 30 minutes, nous présenterons les conclusions du dernier rapport de Proofpoint sur le facteur humain. Nous dévoilerons les nouvelles tactiques qui se cachent derrière les menaces par e-mail les plus dangereuses d'aujourd'hui. S'appuyant sur les informations relatives aux menaces issues de l'analyse quotidienne de plus de 3,5 milliards d'e-mails, nos experts analyseront la recrudescence des URL compromises, l'évolution des méthodes de diffusion des logiciels malveillants et les autres canaux de communication qui font l'objet d'attaques.

Nous explorerons comment les menaces basées sur les charges utiles évoluent et ce que votre équipe peut faire pour les détecter, les bloquer et y répondre avant que les utilisateurs ne cliquent. 

Nous aborderons les thèmes suivants :

* Nouvelles informations issues de la recherche sur les menaces concernant les tendances et les tactiques de phishing
* Comment les attaquants s'adaptent pour contourner les contrôles techniques
* Quelles nouvelles plateformes les acteurs malveillants utilisent pour cibler les utilisateurs

Le Facteur Humain

Communication extends far beyond email. Employees use collaboration tools, messaging platforms, cloud applications, social media, and file-sharing platforms to stay connected and productive. But cybercriminals are following — and exploiting — these very same platforms. 

Proofpoint Threat Research has seen a staggering 2,524% increase in URL-based threats delivered via SMS-based phishing (smishing) over the past three years. Once they compromise an account, attackers can exfiltrate data, deploy ransomware, commit financial fraud, and erode trust. 

How can organisations stay ahead of multichannel, human-focused attacks?  

Join us for this 30-minute webinar to learn how attackers are evolving their tactics - and how you can evolve your protection strategies.  

You’ll learn: 

> How social engineering tactics are designed to exploit human behaviour and manipulate how people interact with technology
> The anatomy of multichannel, multistage attacks in today’s digital landscape
> Practical strategies and key capabilities to stop threats across email and beyond

How to Defend Against Evolving Social Engineering Cyber Attacks

As the cyber threat landscape continues to evolve, so does the role of the CISO. The latest findings from Proofpoint’s Voice of the CISO 2025 Report, based on insights from 1,600 global CISOs, point to a familiar challenge with renewed urgency: people remain the greatest cybersecurity risk—now compounded by AI disruption and increasing boardroom pressure.

Join our panel of cybersecurity leaders from across EMEA as we examine the findings of Proofpoint’s Voice of the CISO 2025 Report. From insider threats and GenAI governance to growing tensions in the c-suite, we’ll unpack the top trends shaping the modern CISO’s agenda. 

You’ll gain insight into:

* Why human error remains #1 vulnerability – and why awareness isn’t translating into behaviour
* How CISOs are managing GenAI risk, balancing enablement with the fear of data loss
* Why rising confidence doesn’t equal readiness, with many CISOs still bracing for major attacks
* The mounting pressure inside the boardroom, and what’s causing misalignment at the top

Find out what’s keeping CISOs up at night and how they’re planning for what’s next. Whether you’re a security leader, risk professional or business executive, this is your opportunity to benchmark your strategy and hear directly from those on the front lines.

Voice of the CISO 2025: Managing Insider Risk, GenAI, and Executive Expectations

À mesure que le paysage des cybermenaces évolue, le rôle du RSSI évolue également. Les dernières conclusions du rapport “Voice of the CISO 2025” de Proofpoint, basé sur les observations de 1 600 RSSI à travers le monde, montrent un défi familier qui revêt aujourd'hui une urgence renouvelée : l’Homme reste le plus grand risque en matière de cybersécurité, un risque désormais aggravé par les perturbations liées à l'IA et la pression croissante exercée par les conseils d'administration.

Rejoignez notre panel français pour examiner les conclusions du rapport “Voice of the CISO 2025” de Proofpoint. Des menaces internes à la gouvernance de l'IA générative en passant par les tensions croissantes au sein des équipes de direction, nous décrypterons les principales tendances qui façonnent l'agenda des RSSI modernes. 

Vous découvrirez :
•    Pourquoi l'erreur humaine reste la vulnérabilité n° 1 et pourquoi une prise de conscience ne se traduit pas forcèment en comportement
•    Comment les RSSI gèrent le risque lié à l'IA générative, en trouvant un équilibre entre l'autorisation d’usage et la crainte de la perte de données
•    Pourquoi une confiance croissante n'est pas forcément synonyme de préparation, de nombreux RSSI se préparant encore à des attaques majeures.
•    La pression croissante au sein des conseils d'administration et les causes du désalignement au sommet.

Découvrez ce qui empêche les RSSI de dormir et comment ils se préparent pour l'avenir. Que vous soyez responsable de la sécurité, professionnel du risque ou dirigeant d'entreprise, c'est l'occasion pour vous d'évaluer votre stratégie et d'entendre directement ceux qui sont en première ligne.

Voice of the CISO 2025: Gérer les risques internes, l'IA générative et les attentes des dirigeants

Insider threats continue to make headlines. Espionage, sabotage, fraud, and data theft – the past year has seen it all. Despite these dangers, many organizations lack a structured approach to managing these risks, leaving them vulnerable. How can you proactively identify insider threats and better protect your organization?

During this 30-minute session, we will explore this year's headline-grabbing incidents that illustrate a worsening problem with insider threats. You’ll hear:
- The unexpected ways insiders can disrupt your business and damage your brand

- Best practices for managing insider threats and risks to your organization, with lessons learned

2025 Update: The Biggest & Boldest Insider Threats

Despite significant investment in traditional DLP tools, many organizations still struggle to prevent data loss. Why? Because legacy solutions weren’t designed for the way people work today. With hybrid work, cloud file sharing, and AI-fueled productivity tools, data protection requires human-centric insights that combine content and behavior more than ever.

Beyond Legacy: Why Traditional DLP Falls Short

Phishing remains one of the most effective cyberattack methods and it’s evolving fast. So far, in 2025 we’ve seen attackers deploy more sophisticated attacks, leveraging AI, geopolitical tensions, social engineering and new digital channels to target individuals and organisations across EMEA.

Proofpoint’s Carl Leonard, EMEA Cybersecurity Strategist, and Davide Canali, Threat Research Director, are back with an update on the 2025 threat landscape. They’ll be joined by Haifa Ketiti, Staff Sales Engineer, and Anna Akselevich, Threat Researcher, with real-life case examples from the field.

We’ll review the threat landscape across EMEA with special interest to developments in the Middle East. With increased digitalisation and geopolitical instability in this region, threat actors - both state-sponsored and criminal - are launching sophisticated phishing campaigns that ripple across Europe. 

Join our cybersecurity experts as they uncover with real examples the most cunning types of phishing attacks threatening organisations today, including:
• Business Email Compromise (BEC): still the silent assassin, now enhanced with AI-generated messages and deepfake audio.
• Credential Phishing: targeting cloud platforms and collaboration tools like Teams and SharePoint.
• AitM (Adversary-in-the-Middle) phishing: the growing availability of kits and services that bypass Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) 
• Brand Impersonation: exploiting trust in consumer-facing brands to lure users into clicking.
• Smishing and Vishing: expanding beyond email to mobile and voice channels.

…and more!

Make sure your users don’t get caught in the net with a new wave of phishing attacks in 2025!

Phishing in 2025: AI, Social Engineering & the New Threat Landscape

Recent Proofpoint research reveals that 99%1 of organizations face regular account takeover (ATO) attempts. Attackers often employ phishing and other techniques as part of multi-stage attacks aimed at compromising user accounts. Additionally, attackers are increasingly targeting suppliers and business partners, using compromised third-party accounts to broaden the attack surface and intensify the impact on your organization.

The Two Sides of Account Compromise: Defending Against Employee and Supplier Account Takeover Attacks

The race to harness generative AI for innovation and efficiency is reshaping how organisations develop products, deliver services, and empower their workforce. From internal productivity tools like MS Copilot to customer-facing chatbots, AI-driven applications are becoming integral to modern business strategy.
