This Valentine’s Day invite came with a payload no one asked for. 💔 As February 14th nears, Proofpoint researchers warn of malicious Valentine’s Day-themed lures and threats. ⚠️ The screenshot below is of an actual lure recently sent from a compromised account. This example, which was observed and blocked by our team, leveraged legitimate remote monitoring and management (RMM) as a first-stage payload. RMM attacks can result in data collection, financial theft, lateral movement, and the installation of follow-on malware, including ransomware. Cybercriminals will always attempt to capitalize on current events, and Valentine’s Day is no exception. Such lures are designed to appear as legitimate emails from trusted sources, increasing the likelihood that a target clicks or engages. 💌 Proofpoint recommends that organizations: • Train users to identify and report suspicious activity • Restrict the download/installation of any unapproved RMM tooling • Ensure networks detections alert on any activity to RMM servers

Our very first BRAVE Belonging Week brought our global teams together to reflect on what belonging means at Proofpoint. Throughout the week, employees connected through coffee gatherings, community lunches, learning sessions, and conversations that encouraged reflection and shared understanding. We heard from leaders who emphasized the importance of creating space for every employee to contribute and lead with purpose. Across regions, teams continued that momentum through moments that strengthened collaboration and reinforced how community shapes the way we work. The active participation, engagement, and openness from our employees made the week a success. Creating a space where everyone feels they belong is an essential part of our cultural values at Proofpoint. Through belonging, we support one another and make an impact every day.

Proofpoint Protect 2025 united thousands of industry leaders, practitioners, and community members for three days of action-oriented discussions on securing the agentic workspace. We extend our sincere appreciation to all our external speakers for making our event a success, including Dorothy Li, George Kurtz, Kris Burkhardt, Judy Molenaar, Brian Cincera, Nabil Hamade, Joshua Roth, Chris Inglis, and Dr. Poppy Crum, who made appearances on our main stages. Their subject matter expertise, industry perspectives, and real-world stories on how they use Proofpoint to stay AI-ready and resilient were invaluable in shaping the event and driving impact for organizations worldwide.
At ProofpointProtect, we’re bringing together CTOs, CIOs, and business and security leaders for an exclusive, closed-door security leadership forum (SLF). At this meeting, our Global Resident CISO, Patrick Joyce, is facilitating thoughtful discussions and candid conversations between peers. Today’s digital environment has become increasingly complex. The 2025 Voice of the CISO report by Proofpoint found that, of the 76% of CISOs who feel at risk of experiencing a material cyberattack in the next 12 months, 58% say they are unprepared to respond. Today’s SLF will deep dive into this disconnect, exploring today’s unique security challenges, current threat landscape, cyber intelligence, and agentic AI. We hope to foster new strategies and methods to tackle sophisticated security issues in the fast-paced working environments we all experience daily.
On International Women In Cyber Day, we congratulate Jennifer Cheng, director of cybersecurity strategy for Proofpoint APJ, for her recognition on the Singapore Computer Society's list of 100 Women in Tech. 🎊 As a trusted voice in the industry, Jennifer is driving the adoption of transformative Human Centric Security initiatives across the region.
