Case Study: Gubra (Danish biotechnology company) secures sensitive data and blocks spear-phishing with Proofpoint

Strengthening Security in Biotechnology

Gubra is a Danish biotechnology company (founded 2008) that provides preclinical contract research and drug discovery in the metabolic space and works with major pharmaceutical clients. With 160 employees handling highly sensitive client data, the company needed to prevent accidental data loss from misdirected emails and defend against increasingly sophisticated spear‑phishing and impersonation attacks.

Gubra deployed Tessian Guardian and Tessian Defender across its email environment. Guardian gives real‑time warnings for abnormal recipients to reduce misdirected emails and reinforce safer behavior, while Defender’s stateful machine‑learning detects and blocks advanced impersonation-based spear‑phishing—providing greater transparency, fewer inbound threats, and stronger protection of client data and reputation.
