Case Study: Global Food Packaging and Processing Company achieves stronger email security and 88% fewer phishing clicks with Proofpoint

Global Food Packaging and Processing Company Secures Email with Proofpoint

A global food packaging and processing company that makes nearly 200 billion food and beverage containers annually and employs over 25,000 people in 160+ countries needed better email security. The organization faced increasingly sophisticated, message-based attacks and found its previous supplier unable to keep pace—prompting requirements to reduce phishing and malware, automate analysis and remediation, secure partner communications across the supply chain, and produce risk-driven metrics.

After a competitive RFP the company deployed Proofpoint’s suite—Email Protection with TAP and TRAP, Internal Mail Defense and Email Fraud Defense, Nexus People Risk Explorer, and Security Awareness Training with CLEAR. The solution delivered greater visibility and automation, blocking 30% more malicious emails, cutting phishing delivery rate by 5% and employee click rates by 88%, shrinking analysis staffing needs, and boosting employee reporting (42% reported test phish), while providing metrics to guide security investments.
