Implementation of Proofpoint for Enhanced Email Security
Dear Campus Community,
We’re excited to announce that Brooklyn College is upgrading our email security to Proofpoint Enterprise Protection during Thanksgiving week. This upgrade will not impact your ability to send or receive email.
This change brings several benefits, including:
- Enhanced Security: Proofpoint provides stronger protection against phishing, viruses, spam, and other malicious threats.
- Improved Productivity: Proofpoint will help keep your inbox organized by reducing unwanted messages so you can focus on important emails.
- Compliance: Proofpoint is already used by many CUNY colleges to ensure compliance with CUNY’s more robust security policies.
What to Expect:
- Quarantined Messages: Some emails will be automatically quarantined if flagged as suspicious. You’ll receive a daily digest notification to review these messages, with options to release or delete them.
- Attachments: Malicious attachments will be removed for your safety. If an attachment is stripped, it cannot be retrieved.
- Suspicious Emails: You can report any email as junk or phishing using the “Report Message” option in Outlook.
For more details, please visit our Proofpoint Guide. We also encourage you to complete the Cybersecurity Workshop on Blackboard.
Thank you for supporting this important step toward a more secure email system.
Best regards,
Brooklyn College Information Technology Services
