Beginning April 17 2025, partners can choose to configure M365 customers either via MX-deployment utilizing Proofpoint Essentials as a traditional SEG, or via Integrated Cloud deployments.
This new configuration option is only available for 100% M365 customers.
Hybrid-Exchange, Exchange, Google Workspace, or other mail environments are still supported through traditional SEG deployments via MX-change.What’s New?
- No MX Record Change Required - Email flows directly to M365, which then routes mail to Proofpoint Essentials for filtering.
- Seamless Setup - Automatically configures M365 rules & connectors and applies Proofpoint Essentials best-practice configuration.
- Hassle-Free Protection - Mail routing is switched to Proofpoint automatically, saving time and ensuring accuracy.
Proofpoint Essentials is now more efficient and flexible than ever. New deployment options offer powerful protection for end-users against advanced email threats, at the speed MSPs need to be successful. Spend less than five minutes onboarding new customers.
New from Proofpoint Essentials, Integrated Deployment eliminates the need for MX record changes, making it easier to manage for busy MSPs and small teams. Set up is possible in just a few clicks with Microsoft 365 integration that automatically discovers and configures the service. Email from Microsoft is then routed to Proofpoint’s unmatched AI-based detection stack where Essentials easily allows safe communications but stops the widest variety of malicious messages, including phishing, email fraud, malware and more.
With Proofpoint Essentials, MSPs can offer security to any customer in the way that works best for their organization: through traditional MX-based onboarding or the new Integrated Deployment. The freedom of choice coupled with out-of-the-box configurations provide a truly “set it and forget it” experience – one backed by the same protection that secures 86% of Fortune 100 companies.
This deployment option will be available for all Proofpoint Essentials customers.
