Explore the key features that make Tessian powerful for content & seo workflows.
Machine learning algorithms analyze up to one year of historical email data to establish personalized communication baselines for each user, detecting anomalies in recipients, content, timing, and attachment patterns that might indicate threats or errors.
Financial institutions where unusual wire transfer requests or document sharing outside normal patterns could indicate fraud or social engineering attacks
AI-powered recipient analysis that evaluates email content, attachments, and historical communication patterns to identify when sensitive information might be sent to inappropriate recipients, providing real-time warnings before send.
Law firms and healthcare organizations where confidential client information sent to wrong recipients could trigger regulatory violations and privacy breaches
Behavioral analysis combined with content inspection to identify sophisticated impersonation attempts that reference real business relationships, projects, or processes to bypass traditional email filters.
Executive and finance teams targeted by attacks that impersonate known vendors, partners, or internal colleagues using legitimate business context
Just-in-time security coaching that delivers contextual warnings and explanations when risky behavior is detected, educating users at the moment of risk rather than through periodic training sessions.
Organizations wanting to build lasting security awareness without disrupting productivity through intrusive blocking or lengthy training programs
Yes, but only through Proofpoint's Adaptive Email DLP and Core Email Protection products. Tessian's behavioral AI technology has been integrated into Proofpoint's platform following the December 2023 acquisition, offering enhanced data loss prevention and threat detection capabilities.
Proofpoint integrated Tessian's behavioral AI into its Adaptive Email DLP offering announced in March 2024. The technology builds individual communication patterns for each user and detects anomalies that might indicate threats, misdirected emails, or data loss risks.
Abnormal Security provides the closest alternative with similar behavioral AI for email threat detection. Darktrace offers network-wide behavioral analysis including email. Material Security takes a different approach by protecting sensitive emails after delivery rather than preventing threats upfront.
Proofpoint's integration maintains Tessian's fast deployment capability, with API-based implementation that can achieve protection within 24 hours by analyzing historical email data to establish behavioral baselines immediately.
Now that you know how to use Tessian, it's time to put this knowledge into practice.
