Why Choose IRONSCALES over Proofpoint
Adapting to an Evolving Email Security Landscape
Email security has changed a lot in the last 20 years. Basic protocols like authentication and signature-based secure email gateways (SEGs) used to be enough—but they can't keep up with the new tactics' attackers use.
Now email security needs to address "malicious intent" like social engineering, and actively protect at the mailbox level. Modern solutions now use AI, machine learning, and automation as well as human insights to fight advanced threats like business email compromise, account takeover, and VIP impersonations.

How are IRONSCALES and Proofpoint Different?
IRONSCALES and Proofpoint use very different methods to securing an organization's email environment.
Proofpoint takes a preventative approach, using a SEG to block SPAM and known threats before they reach the inbox. This is similar to network firewalls as they are located in the DMZ of a network, in-line and upstream of a mail server or service.
IRONSCALES uses an API to integrate with cloud email providers and every inbox—using AI to continuously detect and remediate advanced threats like BEC and ATO in milliseconds. Unique to IRONSCALES, employees are also incorporated in the fight against phishing with integrated email alert banners, and report phishing buttons.
The platform also includes the ability to send personalized phishing simulations and training based on employees' profiles and recent inbox attacks, thanks to integrated phishing simulation testing and security awareness training (SAT).
