Case Study: Gaumont achieves up to 97% blocking of email-based threats and protects its people and IP with Proofpoint

Film Company Successfully Defends its People and IP

Gaumont, the world’s oldest film company founded in 1895, produces and distributes an expanding slate of film and TV content globally and relies heavily on email for collaboration and protection of valuable intellectual property. After a phishing incident revealed gaps in its defenses, the IT team sought a stronger, people-focused email security solution to protect employees, creative assets, and the company’s reputation.

Gaumont deployed Proofpoint Email Security and Proofpoint Targeted Attack Protection with a Microsoft partner, completing rollout within a month. The solution blocks up to 97% of email-based threats, provides real-time visibility into malicious URLs and attack techniques, stops dangerous clicks and attachments, saves time and resources, and has become a core part of Gaumont’s security strategy.
