Email is where almost every cyberattack begins. ECSG deploys and manages Proofpoint — the same email security trusted by large enterprises — so a fake invoice, a poisoned link or a CEO impersonation never gets the chance to fool your team.
Criminals don't need to hack your systems if they can convince one employee to click a link, open a file, or approve a payment. Email is the easiest way to do that.

Mail from known-bad servers and senders is refused at the door, before it's even accepted.

URL DefenseResult: your team only sees the email they're supposed to see.
Old email filters looked for things they had already seen. Today's attacks are new every day — often with no link and no attachment, just a convincing message. Proofpoint Nexus combines five specialized AI models that each look at an email from a different angle.
Reads the text of the message and understands intent: urgency, payment requests, secrecy, tone that doesn't match the sender.
Learns who normally talks to whom in your business, and flags conversations that break the pattern.
Looks at images, QR codes, logos and fake login pages the way a person sees them.
Pattern-recognition models trained to spot how attack campaigns behave, even when the details change.

Each capability below is configured, tuned and monitored by ECSG. You get the protection without having to become an email security expert.
Every link in every email is rewritten. When someone clicks, Proofpoint checks the destination in real time and blocks it if it has turned malicious since delivery.
Attachments are scanned with antivirus and, when needed, detonated in an isolated environment to watch their behavior before delivery.
Detects display-name spoofing, lookalike domains (like rnicrosoft.com) and payment-fraud language — even when there is no link or file at all.
Unwanted marketing, bulk mail and spam are filtered with adjustable sensitivity per company or per user.
External or suspicious messages get a clear banner at the top, so users know to slow down before acting.
Held messages go to a secure quarantine. Users receive a simple digest and ECSG can review and release legitimate email quickly.
Outgoing mail is scanned too, so a compromised account can't be used to send spam or malware to your customers.
Custom policies for your vendors, partners and departments — trusted senders flow through, known bad actors stay out.
Clear reports show how much email arrived, what was blocked and why — like the real example on this page.

emails carrying malware. Any one of them could have been the start of a ransomware incident.
Proofpoint is powerful because it's configurable. ECSG sets and maintains every policy for your business, then keeps adjusting as threats and your company change.
Rules that decide what is held, tagged or delivered.
Your trusted partners in, known bad senders out.
Sensitivity tuned to your industry and email volume.
Warning banners and consistent legal footers.
Link rewriting and sandbox analysis, always on.
Extends monitoring to your company's social accounts.
Before Proofpoint goes live, ECSG verifies the DNS records that prove your emails are really yours. Most spoofing succeeds because these are missing or misconfigured.
Routes your mail through Proofpoint first, then on to Microsoft 365.
Lists exactly which servers are allowed to send email for your domain.
Digitally signs your emails so no one can alter them in transit.
Tells the world to reject fakes of your domain — and reports back to us.
Microsoft 365 includes basic filtering, and it's a good start. Proofpoint adds a specialized layer focused on the attacks that cause the most damage — impersonation, payment fraud, weaponized links and new malware — backed by AI models trained on trillions of emails. Many businesses that run Microsoft 365 add Proofpoint for exactly that reason.
No. Outlook, phones and shared mailboxes keep working exactly the same. Users only notice fewer junk emails, warning banners on risky messages, and an occasional quarantine digest.
It isn't deleted. It goes to a secure quarantine where it can be released quickly, and ECSG adjusts the policy so the same sender flows through next time.
We plan the mail-flow change in advance and schedule it to minimize impact. Your domain records are prepared ahead of time so the transition is smooth.
You receive a monthly report like the real example on this page: how many emails arrived, how many were blocked, and what kind of threats were stopped.
We'll review your email security and domain records, show you where you're exposed, and explain in plain language what Proofpoint would change. No obligation.
Secure. Reliable. Human.
