Case Study: Major Manufacturing Organization frees up IT to strengthen security with Proofpoint Essentials from Proofpoint

Leading manufacturer frees up IT to strengthen security with Proofpoint Essentials

A century-old custom manufacturer that ships worldwide needed to replace its long-standing on‑prem email protection after the vendor discontinued support. The team required a robust, easy-to-use solution that could be deployed quickly with minimal disruption to seven‑day operations, reduce manual security tasks, and allow a future move to the cloud.

Working with partner Gotham Technology Group, they deployed Proofpoint Essentials in two to three weeks. The platform blocked malware and phishing, rewrites and sandboxes links, provides threat digests and automated attachment encryption, and empowered users to self-manage quarantined mail—resulting in a 30–50% monthly drop in unwanted email (a recent 30‑day sample showed 51% blocked/quarantined, 5% spam, 44% delivered) and freed IT to focus on strategic security improvements.
