What is Secure Email Relay? – Proofpoint Explainer

Securing email from users is probably a bedrock of your cybersecurity strategy—as it should be. But in most enterprises, many more emails are sent by their systems and outside vendors.

These are often called transactional emails. They include invoices, notifications, authorization codes, order receipts and more. Often, they originate outside of your secure email infrastructure, so they’re not as well protected. That puts your email identity, and the people who trust it, at risk.
Proofpoint Secure Email Relay (SER) is cloud-based solution that secures transactional emails in three key ways:
• It authenticates the email so that only verified sources can submit emails for sending. Outgoing messaged are signed with DKIM to support DMARC policies.
• It secures the email by scanning for malicious or unsafe content.
• You can use email encryption, archiving or the restriction of sensitive data, such as personally identifiable information (PII) or personal health information (PHI), for regulatory email compliance.
Even as it secures your transactional emails, SER lets you keep them separate from user email. So a delivery problem caused by an application or vendor won’t impede other operations.
In this video you’ll learn how Proofpoint Secure Email Relay can make your application-generated messages and those from outside SaaS vendors as secure as those sent by people. It puts you in control of your email identity so that your customers, partners and employees can trust the transactional email you and your vendors send.
