Case Study: Cordaan improves email security and reduces human error with Proofpoint

How Tessian Is Preventing Breaches and Influencing Safer Behavior in Healthcare

Cordaan, one of the largest healthcare providers in Amsterdam, needed a more proactive way to protect its employees from spear phishing, business email compromise, and accidental data loss on email. Its existing standard email security and spam filtering were too reactive and didn’t provide enough visibility or real-time protection, especially in a high-risk healthcare environment.

Proofpoint, using its Tessian email security tools, implemented AI- and machine learning-based protections including Defender, Guardian, and Enforcer to detect threats and risky email behavior in real time. The solution helped Cordaan catch malicious and misdirected emails before they were sent, improve employee behavior with in-the-moment warnings, and gain transparency into data loss incidents; after the proof of value, Cordaan saw the true scope of the issue and the measurable risk reduction helped justify the investment.
