Proofpoint Announces Expansion of Flagship Annual ‘Protect’ Conference to Showcase Latest Innovations in Human-Centric Cybersecurity to Growing Customer Base

The new four-city global event series will immerse attendees in two days of groundbreaking insights into today’s cyber threat landscape and educate them on how to secure what matters most—their people

Proofpoint, Inc., a leading cybersecurity and compliance company, today announced details of the 2024 edition of its highly anticipated annual customer conference, ‘Protect’. Building on the success of its flagship event, traditionally held annually in New York City, Proofpoint will scale its two-day event to three additional new cities this fall: London, Austin and Chicago. Doing so will expand knowledge sharing to thousands of CISOs and cybersecurity practitioners worldwide, enhancing both the depth and breadth of discussions on what it takes to protect people and defend data in an ever-changing threat landscape, where the human element continues to be exploited by threat actors.

Proofpoint ‘Protect’ is the event of choice for cybersecurity professionals to understand and stay ahead of the three critical cyber risks that impact their organizations today: human-targeted threats, data loss and human error. With a packed agenda including compelling keynotes, unique thought leadership tracks, strategy building and hands-on training and certification, ‘Protect’ will immerse attendees with groundbreaking insights into today’s cyber threat landscape and foster opportunities to engage and collaborate with fellow defenders who face similar human risks and challenges.

“Our customers and partners have been loud and clear: Proofpoint Protect is the must-attend event for cybersecurity’s leading executives, practitioners and partners, and that’s why we are expanding it to four vibrant cities this year,” said Sumit Dhawan, CEO, Proofpoint. “Proofpoint Protect is more than just a conference—it’s a cornerstone for cybersecurity professionals seeking to advance their skills, connect with peers and understand the dynamics of human-centric cybersecurity threats and defense.”
