Proofpoint is a leading cybersecurity and compliance company focused on protecting organizations’ greatest asset—and biggest risk—their people. While much of the industry concentrates on network and endpoint security, Proofpoint specializes in defending against human-targeted threats such as phishing, business email compromise (BEC), credential theft, insider risk, and social engineering.

Proofpoint is amongst the top five cybersecurity companies by size, with offices globally, including an office in downtown Toronto. It is headquartered out of Sunnyvale, California.

The event will be attended by cybersecurity professionals across the lower mainland from managers to specialists and practitioners. They will span from large enterprises in the private sector to public sector within the municipalities and K12.
