MX Deployment
(Traditional SEG)

1. Email is sent to an recipient email address.
2. The MX record for the recipient's domain points to Microsoft 365.
3. Microsoft 365 receives the email, applies its native protection (email authentication, anti-spam/anti-virus, anti-malware and anti-phishing protection).
4. Customer-specific Proofpoint Essentials identifires are added to the headers of cleared emails and are securely routed to Proofpoint Essentials.

1. Emails are received by Proofpoint Essentials

2. Emails are filtered through Proofpoint's multi-layered detection engine which includes protection against commodity and advanced threats including Advanced Malware, Phishing and Business Email Compromise (BEC).

3. Emails are further filtered against customer created content policies (including DLP).
4. If an email contains any threats or violates content policies, the email is quarantined by Proofpoint Essentials, and available for review.
5. Cleared emails are routed back to Microsoft 365.

1. Emails are delivered to the user's mailbox.
