What our shortlists say about the one we picked.
Best for: Teams wanting training driven by real attacks on their people
Proofpoint is here for the risk-led approach, because it decides who gets which lesson from the attacks actually aimed at each person. That works best if Proofpoint already guards your email, since that is where the threat data comes from. If it does not, ask how much of the scoring still works without it.
