What Is Proofpoint?
Proofpoint is the County’s email security gateway. It protects users by scanning incoming messages for threats like phishing, malware, and malicious links.
Most employees interact with Proofpoint indirectly. When you receive an email, any link it contains may be rewritten to route through Proofpoint for safety screening. This helps prevent users from visiting harmful sites.
Who Uses This Software?
All County employees benefit from Proofpoint’s protections. It is applied automatically to incoming email and does not require user setup.
