Case Study: TEAM Industries achieves secure manufacturing operations and protection from BEC and ransomware with Proofpoint

Protecting Manufacturing Operations and Business Leaders With Proofpoint

TEAM Industries, a 1,200‑employee OEM supplier and contract manufacturer with eight facilities, relies on fast, trustworthy email to run complex manufacturing and supply‑chain operations. After migrating to Microsoft 365, the company faced a surge in spam, ransomware and business email compromise (BEC) attacks that threatened operations, executive targets and customer trust, and needed to strengthen security culture and compliance.

TEAM deployed Proofpoint Threat Protection, Email Fraud Defense and ZenGuide security awareness to block known and unknown threats, streamline DMARC/SPF/DKIM protections, and train employees to spot and report phishing. The combined solution stopped BEC and ransomware attempts, protected brand reputation, reduced IT investigation time, improved compliance posture, and increased employee resilience while remaining low‑maintenance.
