Configuring Proofpoint for Phin Security

The document provides a sample configuration guide for Proofpoint Essentials, instructing admins to add specific Phin Security IP addresses to the Safe Senders List and exclude certain Phin-related domains from URL Defense to ensure proper email handling and security integration.

If using Proofpoint, admins may need to configure their Proofpoint instance to accommodate Phin IPs, URLs, and domains.

If you have any issues, please contact the Proofpoint support team.

This is a sample set up as client configurations can vary greatly. Please contact Proofpoint if you have any questions about their platform.
