Name: Implementing Email Sandboxing With Proofpoint
Author: mukul975

Overview

Email sandboxing detonates suspicious attachments and URLs in isolated environments to detect zero-day malware and evasive phishing payloads. Proofpoint Targeted Attack Protection (TAP) is an industry-leading solution that uses multi-stage sandboxing, URL rewriting, and predictive analysis. This skill covers configuring Proofpoint TAP, integrating with email flow, analyzing sandbox reports, and tuning detection policies.
