Proofpoint, Inc. is a leading cybersecurity and compliance company that protects organizations’ greatest assets and biggest risks: their people. With an integrated suite of cloud-based solutions, Proofpoint helps companies around the world stop targeted threats, safeguard their data, and make their users more resilient against cyber attacks. Leading organizations of all sizes, including 85 percent of the Fortune 100, rely on Proofpoint for people-centric security and compliance solutions that mitigate their most critical risks across email, the cloud, social media, and the web. 

Cybersecurity is not just about technology; it's also about the people who are impacted by it. Proofpoint’s latest 2024 State of the Phish report highlights the persistent challenge of user behavior in cybersecurity. Despite 71% of users acknowledging their risky behavior, they continue to prioritize convenience, undermining their organizations' security efforts.

Join us for a deep dive into actionable strategies that can transform cybersecurity awareness into meaningful behavior change, reducing the risk of compromise and bolstering defense measures. In this 1-hour webinar, our expert panel will unpack the State of the Phish report's findings on user behaviors and discuss tactics on influencing positive change.

We will cover these key takeaways:
- An exploration of why users knowingly engage in risky cybersecurity practices.
- Insight into the gap between user perception and professional expectations of security responsibility.
- Expert recommendations on strategies to impact positive cybersecurity behavior.
- Discussion on enhancing organizational and individual resilience against cyber threats.

The Human Element: Applying State of the Phish Insights for Behavioral Change

Business Email Compromise (BEC) isn't just about technology – it's about people. Cybercriminals exploit human trust and vulnerabilities to manipulate employees into transferring money or sensitive information. In today's evolving threat landscape, human-centric security is crucial to mitigating BEC attacks.

Join us for this 30-minute webinar to understand how attackers leverage the human element in BEC scams, and discover best practices for building a robust defense. We'll delve into:

- The human element: How attackers exploit human psychology and behavior in BEC attempts.
- Targeted attacks: Who are the most vulnerable employees, and how are they targeted?
- Building a people-centric defense: Practical strategies to empower your workforce and safeguard your organization.

The Human Factor in Business Email Compromise

Insider threats are increasing. The shift to remote and hybrid work, growth of data across multiple tools, applications, and channels, and high employee turnover puts sensitive data and systems at risk. As a result, proactively managing insider threats with visibility into user behavior is critical for today’s security teams.

Join us for this 30-minute webinar and live demo as we discuss how we think Proofpoint solutions deliver against capabilities outlined in the 2023 Gartner® Market Guide for Insider Risk Management Solutions. According to Gartner®, mandatory capabilities of enterprise IRM platforms are:

- “Orchestration with other cybersecurity tooling
- Monitoring of employee activity and assimilating into a behavior-based risk model
- Dashboarding and alerting of high-risk activity
- Orchestration and initiation of intervention workflows”

Guiding Principles for Insider Risk Management

Most organizations have little, if any visibility into the risk of sensitive data loss from misdirected emails, leading to negative business impacts, including significant productivity loss when unreported incidents are discovered.

Join us for a two-part webinar series as we review the rise of misdirected emails, and the negative impacts businesses face by leaving this risk vector unaddressed. We’ll dive into the multi-faceted impacts to your organization and explain how to leverage the power of artificial intelligence (AI) to stop sensitive data loss from emails being sent to wrong recipients.

Using AI to Stop Email Misdelivery and Prevent Data Loss

People’s risky behaviors enable the current threat landscape. For a long time, security professionals have relied on training to drive behavior change and to reduce people risk, but in vain. Our report indicates that over 90% of surveyed respondents bypass security knowingly. Moreover, attackers keep upping their game— we see novel attack techniques targeting people, including MFA bypass, telephone-oriented attack delivery (TOAD), QR-code phishing, and even attacks using AI-powered tools. How are your people reacting to these new types of attacks?

Join us for our 10th annual State of the Phish webinar for an in-depth look at the latest threat landscape as well as the security behaviors and attitudes of general working adults. In this 60-minute session, our experts will discuss:

- Look back at the 2023 threat landscape— what changed and what remains
- User behaviors and attitudes— discrepancies between security professionals and end users
- What organizations are doing today to drive behavior change and how to improve it
- Multi-layered approach to combat human-activated threats

2024 State of the Phish: A Year of Change

Many enterprises have embraced Data Loss Prevention (DLP) solutions in pursuit of regulatory compliance. However, these traditional tools often come with significant drawbacks, including high costs and maintenance challenges. DLP incident responders are frustrated with traditional DLP solutions due to lack of accuracy and context. Organizations are looking for solutions that go beyond traditional DLP and incorporate risk-based adaptive techniques to strengthen data security.  

Join us for this 30-minute webinar and live demo as we discuss the guiding principles for modern DLP and demonstrate how we think Proofpoint Enterprise DLP delivers on these principles:

- Visibility to risk of data loss and policy enforcement across email, endpoint, cloud, and web
- Rich context on user behavior and threats to data for a risk-based adaptive approach
- Enhanced content inspection with AI-generated data classifiers
- Centralized console and reporting for DLP and insider risk management

Guiding Principles for a Modern DLP Solution

Organizations frequently encounter substantial gaps in security between preventive Identity Access Management (IAM) controls and general-purpose detection and response (D&R) systems. These gaps become apparent post initial compromise, in the middle of the attack chain, where adept attackers showcase their abilities to move laterally and escalate privileges en route to the organization's critical assets. As a solution, identity threat detection and response (ITDR) systems have gained prominence to address and mitigate these vulnerabilities in identity security.

Join us for this 45-minute webinar. You will learn:
- How and why attackers have shifted their tactics to focus on vulnerable identities versus vulnerable systems
