Case Study: United States Agency for International Development (USAID) achieves high-accuracy spam and virus protection with Proofpoint

US Agency for International Development - Customer Case Study

The U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID), a federal agency with more than 8,500 employees across 90 locations worldwide, was overwhelmed by unsolicited email—many users received hundreds of spam messages weekly. The agency sought a messaging security solution that would deliver significantly higher spam-detection accuracy, easier administration and reporting, superior customer support, and lower total cost.

USAID deployed Proofpoint Enterprise Protection via the Proofpoint Messaging Security Gateway, using MLX machine-learning analysis and virus protection to block spam, phishing, malware—and even prevent classified email from entering the network. The solution dramatically reduced unwanted messages in inboxes, improved reporting and management, and met the agency’s criteria for accuracy, support and cost-effectiveness.
