Proofpoint launches OEM program for security vendors and MSPs

Proofpoint has launched the Proofpoint OEM Program, giving technology providers, cybersecurity vendors, managed service providers and platform companies a formal path to embed the company's threat intelligence and detection capabilities into their own products and services.

The program formalises and expands what the company said had been an existing OEM business, offering partners a structured way to integrate Proofpoint's threat intelligence without building and maintaining that infrastructure themselves.

The first capability made available through the program is Proofpoint Active Exploits Protection, with the company saying additional OEM-ready offerings will follow as they reach readiness.

According to Proofpoint, the program is designed to reduce the time, cost and complexity of standing up global-scale threat intelligence in-house - letting partner engineering teams focus on their own platform development rather than intelligence operations.

Supported use cases span network security, firewalls, vulnerability and exposure management, SIEM, XDR, SOAR, managed detection and response, threat intelligence platforms and AI security solutions.

"Proofpoint has supported OEM relationships for years, and the Proofpoint OEM Program now provides technology partners with a clearer, more formal way to engage with us," said Stan de Boisset, senior vice president of global channels at Proofpoint.

"By making Proofpoint Active Exploits Protection available through a dedicated OEM program, we're helping partners accelerate innovation, differentiate their products, and deliver more prioritised, explainable, and AI-ready security experiences for their customers.

"We're open for OEM business today and will continue expanding the portfolio as new offerings become ready for market."
