A maker of cybersecurity software that protects organizations from email-borne attacks like phishing, malware, and business email compromise, safeguarding the inboxes, data, and brands of employees at businesses around the world. It was founded in 2002 by Eric Hahn, former CTO of Netscape, who built a team of machine-learning and linguistics engineers to catch malicious emails hidden in everyday messages. The name "Proofpoint" means providing "proof" at the "point" of entry—the inbox where attacks first arrive.
