Case Study: National Public Healthcare Organization achieves robust email threat protection and reduced IT workload with Proofpoint Email Protection

National Public Healthcare Organization Safeguards Public Health Operations With Proofpoint

A national public healthcare organization responsible for infectious disease surveillance needed to replace an end-of-life email security system as it scaled up. With sensitive data and rising phishing and ransomware risks, the IT team sought a more accurate, low-maintenance solution that would improve threat visibility, automate manual processes, and empower staff to act as a stronger first line of defense.

The organization deployed Proofpoint’s integrated email security stack—including Email Protection, Targeted Attack Protection, Threat Response Auto-Pull, Encryption, and Security Awareness Training—working with Proofpoint Professional Services for a seamless migration. The layered solution delivered more precise blocking and near-real-time threat insights, cut daily manual email validation by about two hours, reduced operational impact from slipped threats, supported audit requirements with better reporting, and fostered ongoing employee security education.
