Case Study: Aecon boosts phishing defense and reporting with Proofpoint Security Awareness

Aecon builds trust through Proofpoint Security Awareness

Aecon, a company focused on building trust, needed a stronger way to help employees recognize and report cyber threats such as ransomware, business email compromise, account takeover, and phishing. To address this, Aecon worked with Proofpoint and its Security Awareness solution to improve user awareness and reduce risky behavior.

With Proofpoint Security Awareness, Aecon ran targeted phishing simulations and timely security training that helped break the attack chain at the start. The results were significant: click rates dropped from 18% to 2%, and phishing reporting rates increased from 10% to 50%, strengthening protection for both people and data.
