| Titre | House Call: Why the World\\'s Largest Home Services Company Chose Proofpoint Over Abnormal Security |
| Texte | Finding a good plumber, electrician or appliance repairman is like finding a needle in a haystack. Once you find a good one, though, they\'re worth keeping on speed dial. This is where our customer comes into play. They provide a network of reliable, locally operated repair franchises that homeowners can access with an app, which can be used to request and schedule appointments. The business operates across the United States, Canada and Europe. In this blog, we share why the world\'s largest home services company selected Proofpoint over Abnormal Security. While this company is a Proofpoint customer, they have asked for anonymity so that they could share their story and experiences openly. Rapid growth fuels new security challenges During the last five years, the company has experienced significant growth. Today it has more than 30 brands and 5,500 franchises globally with sales topping $4 billion last year. Unfortunately, all this success comes with new security challenges. Namely, as a business that uses a franchise model it has a decentralized structure, which opens it up to multiple attack vectors. This situation is made worse by the franchises themselves, which typically lack cybersecurity expertise, resources and training. As a result, our customer struggled to protect its headquarters and its global franchises from email-borne threats. Here are just a few cybersecurity threats that they faced daily: Advanced phishing. In these highly sophisticated attacks, bad actors try to trick people into handing over their login credentials, financial information or personal data. Typical examples include spear phishing and business email compromise (BEC). Malware attacks. Malware is malicious software or code that bad actors use to disrupt, damage or access networks, systems and devices. Examples include ransomware, rootkits and botnets. Social engineering. People can be easy to manipulate. With these attacks bad actors use emotion (usually fear and urgency) to trick people into performing an action. This might be sending the attacker money or handing over their sensitive customer data or credentials. Pre-texting, vishing and impersonation are examples. Building a defense-in-depth foundation Before becoming a Proofpoint customer, the company relied on Microsoft 365 E3 native email security to stop threats. This was problematic. Microsoft E3 is good at identifying commoditized threats, which are launched by unskilled bad actors using prepackaged cybercrime tools. However, it struggles to identify advanced email threats that are on the rise, like malicious URLs, payload-less phishing and BEC attacks. The security and IT teams understood that something needed to be done and agreed that a defense-in-depth approach was needed to fortify the company\'s defenses. So, they decided to take a test drive of Abnormal Security and Proofpoint, doing a proof-of-concept (POC) of each to see which one worked best. There were several key requirements for these POCs: Effectiveness at stopping threats pre-delivery Visibility and insights into threats Platform scalability Pre-delivery efficacy: Proofpoint wins Both the security and IT teams were not confident that Microsoft could stop email threats pre-delivery. That\'s why enhancing this capability was a POC priority. Unlike Proofpoint, Abnormal does not offer any pre-delivery detection or analysis-it has a 0% pre-delivery detection efficacy rate. Compare that to Proofpoint. Our solution has a 99.99% pre-delivery detection efficacy rate and identifies and stops threats before they are delivered to user\'s inboxes. That means users can\'t engage with threats at all, which reduces the downstream burden on security teams. Proofpoint uses a multilayered detection stack to accurately identify the widest array of both known and emerging threats. Our br |
