Integrations/Proofpoint Essentials
SECURITY INTEGRATION

Safe sender requests, handled from the ticket.

Neo finds the client's Proofpoint Essentials organization, adds the sender to the right safe list, and manages users and domains. It cannot release an email that is already in quarantine.

01Capabilities

What Neo does with Proofpoint Essentials.

01
SENDER LISTS

Safe and block lists

Adds a sender, domain or IP address to a safe or block list for a whole organization, one user or one group. Neo picks the narrowest entry that meets the request.

02
USERS

Starters, aliases and leavers

Looks up a user's filtering account, adds a new starter or an alias, and deactivates a leaver.

03
DOMAINS

Domain health and DKIM

Checks a domain's mail routing health, verifies a new domain, and adds DKIM signing.

02Workflows

Concrete work Neo handles in Proofpoint Essentials.

ALLOW

Let this sender through

Neo adds the exact sender address to the user's safe list, so the next email is not held, and tells the user how to release the current one from their quarantine digest.

BLOCK

Block an unwanted sender

Adds the sender or domain to the organization's or the user's block list. Neo reads the list before and after, and restores any entry the change removed.

ON / OFFBOARDING

New starters and leavers

Adds a new user or an alias to the client's filtering, and deactivates a leaver's account, from the onboarding or offboarding ticket.

REPORTING

Mail flow figures for QBRs

Reads mail flow statistics and licence counts for a client, so the numbers are ready before the review.

03Setup

Live in under an hour.

Connect, configure, go. No code, no long implementation.

01

Connect Proofpoint Essentials

Create a dedicated admin for Neo, then save its username, password and your stack in Neo. A Channel Partner Admin reaches every client organization. Neo checks the login before it saves.

02

Set access per agent

Pick Read Only, Helpdesk, IT Admin or Full Automation for each agent, or set each area by hand. Helpdesk fits safe sender tickets, and every sender list change waits on a technician.

03

Go live

Check the Organization Mapping tab and confirm any suggested matches. Your agents then work held email tickets from the PSA.

FAQ

Questions about the Proofpoint Essentials integration.

Can Neo release a quarantined email?+

No. Proofpoint's published Essentials API has no quarantine endpoint. Neo can stop the sender's next email from being held. The agent tells the user to release the current one from their quarantine digest, or a technician to release it in the Proofpoint console.

Does Neo need approval to make changes?+

You decide per area. Helpdesk and IT Admin ask a technician before any sender list change. Deleting a client organization or a domain, granting impersonation rights, and creating a console login token as another user always ask a technician.

What credentials does Neo need?+

An admin username and password, plus your stack (for example us2). The Essentials API has no API key. Use a dedicated admin, which you can mark as the non-billable service account. If SSO or MFA blocks Neo's sign-in, use a local admin account. Neo stores the login in Azure Key Vault.

How are Proofpoint organizations matched to PSA companies?+

Neo matches by name first, then by the organization's mail domains against the website on each PSA company, then with AI. Name matches go straight to your agents. Domain and AI matches wait on the Organization Mapping tab for you to confirm, and you can set any mapping by hand.
