Layer 7 E-Suite
Powered by Proofpoint
Why Layer 7 E-Suite?
Layer 7 E-Suite gives small and midsize businesses the power to do three critical things. First, we stop phishing, business email compromise (BEC), ransomware and malware before they reach your inbox. Second, we protect sensitive information your people send by email with data loss prevention and encryption. Finally, we keep email running during an outage with a 24/7 emergency inbox.
Technology Made Simple
Layer 7 E-Suite is built on the same Proofpoint threat intelligence trusted by more than 80 of the Fortune 100 (source: proofpoint.com, 2026).
Our core technology includes AI-powered, multilayered anti-spam, anti-virus and phishing detection; Impostor Email Protection and Advanced BEC Defense; and Targeted Attack Protection with URL and attachment sandboxing. Features vary by package.
The Smarter Choice
Proofpoint was named a Leader in the 2025 Gartner® Magic Quadrant™ for Email Security.*
Layer 7 E-Suite, powered by Proofpoint, updates continuously to stay ahead of advanced and targeted attacks. URL Defense rewrites and checks links at click time, so users are protected on any network or device.
Small businesses get hit by the same advanced cyberattacks that target large organizations, so you need protection that is just as effective. Proofpoint Essentials brings these security controls together in a single interface: more security, less management overhead. Start with Layer 7’s free 30-day E-Suite trial.

Layer 7 E-Suite is available in Business, Advanced and Professional packages, each with a “+” option.
