Proofpoint - National Defense ISACIn the modern enterprise landscape, attackers no longer just hack infrastructure, they target people. From the major financial corridors of South Africa and Kenya to expanding corporate networks in Botswana, Zimbabwe, Malawi, Uganda, and Mozambique, over 90% of targeted cyber attacks start with an email. Security perimeters have evolved beyond firewalls directly into the user inbox.

Minerva Group is a premier Proofpoint partner across Africa. We deliver market-leading, AI-driven human protection platforms designed to stop email fraud, defend cloud collaborations, and prevent critical data loss before it disrupts your operations.

Proofpoint protects the modern workspace by building a unified defense layer around your employees, your data, and emerging AI tools. By implementing Proofpoint through Minerva Group, your enterprise mitigates its highest-risk attack vectors:

  • Advanced Threat Protection: Block 99.99% of inbound threats. Proofpoint utilizes industry-leading machine learning to neutralize ransomware, credential phishing, and Business Email Compromise (BEC) attacks that standard filters miss.

  • Suppliers & Vendor Risk Management: Automatically map your supplier ecosystem to flag domain spoofing, suspicious lookalike domains, and compromised vendor accounts attempting invoice fraud.

  • Intelligent Data Loss Prevention (DLP): Protect sensitive IP and corporate assets by tracking data across email, cloud apps, the web, and endpoints, ensuring strict compliance with local regulations like POPIA in South Africa.

  • Modern Security Awareness: Transform your workforce from a security vulnerability into a strong line of defense with bite-sized, automated threat simulations tailored to real-world behavioral risks.
