Proofpoint DLP

Overview

The Proofpoint DLP (Intelligent Cloud Email Security / formerly Tessian) integration allows AutobotAI to interact directly with Proofpoint. With this integration, you can automate workflows around DLP security events, user monitoring, email quarantine management, user groups, and audit trails via the Proofpoint REST API.

This guide provides instructions for setting up the Proofpoint DLP integration in your AutobotAI account.

Prerequisites

Before starting, ensure you have:

  • An active Proofpoint DLP account.
  • A Proofpoint API Token with sufficient permissions ("Integrations" and "Security Events" roles).
  • Your Proofpoint Subdomain and Region.

Instructions for retrieving your API Token can be found in the Additional Information section.
