Why Chose SlashNext Over Proofpoint
Proofpoint’s Security Email Gateway (SEG) technology solves half of the problem
Proofpoint effectively detects and remediates malicious emails, but its limited multi-channel offering does not address how people work today.
SEGs began as a powerful solution to stop malicious emails from arriving in users’ mailboxes.
However, SEGs legacy technology has limitations:
- SEGs prevent the implementation of a full defense-in-depth strategy. SEGs use domain reputation, URL rewriting, and static block lists, which aren’t enough to offer the real-time protection needed to keep users safe
- SEGs require disabling the built-in protections from the email service provider
- SEGs are not seeing internal traffic. While SEGs receive all of the inbound and outbound emails, they do not see internal emails, so they cannot identify compromised account takeovers.
SlashNext is uniquely qualified to achieve complete defense-in-depth security
SlashNext’s HumanAI technology, unique from other ICES solutions, offers powerful layers of protection.
- Relationship Graph and Contextual Analysis
- Generative AI for Advanced BEC Protection
- File Attachment Inspection
- Computer Vision, Natural Language Processing, and Sender Impersonation Analysis
With the real-time detection of Live Scan, plus mobile and browser protection, SlashNext blocks phishing threats missed by Microsoft 365, SEG, and ATPs technologies for true zero-hour phishing protection.
