As part of our new “plus” packages offering, we have included a new detection enhancement, Advanced BEC Defense, that is available in the new Advanced+ and Professional+ packages.
This detection enhancement is a result of the integration of Proofpoint’s Targeted Threat Detection engine, Supernova, into the Proofpoint Essentials detection stack.
While there are some capabilities associated with Advanced BEC Defense, and Supernova, that are limited to the Advanced + and Professional + packages, we have also added some detection elements into all Proofpoint Essentials packages.
All Packages
All Proofpoint Essentials packages leverage the same detection stack, which now incorporates the Supernova detection engine. As a result, the new BEC classifier is incorporated into our scoring and emails classified as BEC will be quarantined. In addition, we’ve incorporated additional Supernova classifiers, phishing & malware, for further improvements to our pre-delivery detection and classification.
Advanced + & Professional + Packages
Our new “+” packages, leverage the new classifiers as mentioned above, but offer additional “advanced” capabilities. Some of capabilities are available now and some that will be made available moving forward.
