WELCOME TO DAY ONE:  Hornetsecurity’s New Chapter with Proofpoint

For years, Hornetsecurity has grown through the collective strength of its people, the unwavering trust of its customers, and the dedication of a global partner ecosystem. Proofpoint’s journey has been built on the same foundation: innovation, resilience, and a relentless commitment to protecting organizations around the world. 

Now, these two stories become one. 

A Future Powered by Possibility 

What inspires us most about this moment is the tremendous opportunity it brings to our partners, our customers, and our people. 

Together with Proofpoint, we will: 

• Build the global MSP hub for the entire organization, driven by Hornetsecurity’s proven 365 Total Protection platform. 
• Accelerate innovation and bring new product developments and capabilities to market faster than ever before.  
• Offer the best stack on the market to combat cyberattacks, providing global protection for global threats.
• Unlock powerful innovations, from enhanced threat intelligence to advanced detection technologies that will redefine what cybersecurity can deliver. 
• Expand our global reach, using Hornetsecurity’s success in Europe and the immense market presence from Proofpoint in the US to get recognized around the globe. 
• Continue leading in OEM/ISP innovation, backed by deeper resources and a reinforced commitment to modular, high-performance solutions. 

This is not simply an expansion of capabilities; it is the beginning of a new era of innovation. 

Standing Strong, Moving Forward 

Hornetsecurity will continue operating as a focused business unit, to establish and grow the MSP Platform within Proofpoint. The business unit will be responsible for both the Hornetsecurity and Proofpoint Essentials product lines and business.

Our strong European footprint continues to expand, supported by the combined capabilities of both organizations. The people and relationships that define how we work together remain firmly in place, our teams and trusted contact points will continue this journey with you, our valued partners and customers. 

Data protection and privacy remain central to our identity. All data hosted in Europe remains governed by GDPR, the UK DPA 2018, ISO 27001, and the respective European and UK regulatory frameworks. 

This stability gives us room to grow boldly and confidently, together. 

Unlocking MSP Potential with 365 Total Protection 

Proofpoint has built an outstanding product offering excelling in enterprise business and resulting in a strong standing in the U.S. We will now leverage this strength to further accelerate our push into the MSP market with an expanded, channel-focused product portfolio alongside significant investments in this market segment.  Our all-in-one 365 Total Protection platform brings together the most comprehensive suite of solutions that empower MSPs to deliver stronger security, simplified management, and scalable growth. 

For customers, this means even more powerful protection and faster delivery of new features. 
For partners, it means new opportunities, broader markets, and a strengthened global ecosystem. 

For employees across both organizations, it means joining forces with colleagues equally passionate about building the future of cybersecurity. 

Looking Ahead: Together 

The road ahead is filled with possibilities. 

By uniting the strengths, expertise, and energy of both organizations, we can achieve things neither could accomplish alone. 

Thank you to our customers for your trust, to our partners for your belief in our vision, and to our employees for your dedication and passion. The next era of Hornetsecurity begins now, and it is brighter, bolder, and more promising than ever.
