The client sought to strengthen its email security by adopting a next-generation solution hosted entirely within the UAE region, ensuring that no sensitive information leaves the country. Their existing on-premises setup, though equipped with HA and DR, lacked advanced threat defense capabilities to combat evolving risks such as phishing, BEC, ransomware, and social engineering. To address this, Intertec partnered with Proofpoint to deliver a future-ready solution featuring machine learning, real-time scanning, and comprehensive visibility. The deployment not only enhanced protection but also ensured compliance, operational efficiency, and scalability for the future.
The client’s legacy on-premises email platform, despite offering high availability and disaster recovery, was increasingly inadequate in defending against advanced threats. Cyberattacks were growing in complexity, demanding real-time threat detection powered by machine learning and advanced analytics. At the same time, the organization needed to ensure strict regulatory compliance, improve reporting for governance, and reduce operational overhead—all without disrupting business operations. Future scalability and performance were also key concerns as email volumes continued to grow.
Intertec partnered with Proofpoint to deliver a next-generation email security solution that directly addressed the customer’s evolving threat landscape and regulatory requirements. The engagement focused on ensuring a smooth transition from their on-premises setup to a more advanced, cloud-based model hosted fully within the UAE.
