Proofpoint Commended by Frost & Sullivan for Leading the Australian Market with Pioneering Email Security Innovations

Expansive functions and interoperability with third-party systems deliver flexibility and scalability to enterprises of all sizes

SINGAPORE, March 2, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Based on its recent analysis of the email security market, Frost & Sullivan recognizes Proofpoint, Inc. with the 2020 Australia Email Security Vendor of the Year Award. Delivering cloud-focused, people-centric, and integrated email security solutions through local channels and regional distributors, the company has captured 26.1 percent of market share in Australia. Its deployment options align with the local market's evolving preference for flexible, hybrid hardware and cloud infrastructure.

"Proofpoint's financial and technological performance has earned the company strong recognition in the Australian email security market. Its full-featured email security suite protects users from all forms of email-borne threats. Proofpoint stands out for its people-centric approach to mitigating one of the most dangerous vectors in any cybersecurity environment," said Lim Qi Yong, an associate in the ICT Practice at Frost & Sullivan. "The company has grown significantly in Australia over the past year due to its superior value proposition and focus on customer service. The company's emphasis on cloud-based services aligns well with future market needs and positions Proofpoint to capture emerging demand."

Central to Proofpoint's industry-leading solutions is the agility to integrate various capabilities with third-party platforms. For instance, demand for data loss prevention (DLP) in email security has been increasing every year as businesses face not only material but financial, reputational, and intellectual property losses from compromised data. Proofpoint addresses this demand with its email DLP feature, which is part of its larger Proofpoint information protection solution. Other features that can be integrated with its email security solutions include Cloud App Security Broker, email isolation, and advanced malware protection. The high level of integration and breadth of capabilities position Proofpoint to address customer demand for flexibility and scalability.
