We’re Launching a New Lab Experience at Proofpoint Protect 2025: Here’s What to Expect

In a world where cyber threats evolve by the hour and data breaches dominate headlines, security teams need more than just tools-they need expertise, experience, and flexibility. That's where Proofpoint Protect Labs comes in. It's a brand-new lab experience that we're launching at Protect in Nashville, September 22-24, 2025, and everyone is invited to attend.

Proofpoint Protect Labs is a curated, interactive learning environment that brings together the best of Proofpoint's threat intelligence, product innovation, and real-world expertise.

This isn't your average cybersecurity workshop. Proofpoint Protect Labs is a self-paced, immersive experience designed to help security professionals-from analysts to executives-understand, anticipate, and outmaneuver today's most advanced threats. No instructors. No scheduling conflicts. Just hands-on learning.

Choose from 2 focused tracks

Proofpoint Protect Labs is built around two focused tracks. Each track is designed to address the most critical challenges facing modern security teams:

1: Threat Protection Track: outsmart the adversary

Cybercriminals are constantly refining their tactics-and so should you. In the Threat Protection Track, participants will:

• Explore real-world attack scenarios including phishing, business email compromise (BEC), and ransomware
• Dissect attacker techniques using Proofpoint's industry-leading threat intelligence
• Learn how to operationalize defenses to stop threats before they reach your people
• Engage in hands-on labs that simulate live attacks and response workflows

2: Data Security Track: protect what matters most

Data is the lifeblood of your organization-and it's under constant threat. The Data Security Track focuses on how to protect sensitive information across your digital ecosystem. Participants will:

• Identify and mitigate data loss risks across email, cloud apps and endpoints
• Understand insider threats and how to detect risky behavior before it leads to a breach
• Align data protection strategies with compliance frameworks and business objectives
• Gain practical experience with Proofpoint's data loss prevention (DLP) and insider risk tools

Gamified learning, real rewards

To make the experience even more engaging, Proofpoint Protect Labs is gamified. When you complete a lab, you earn points and climb the leaderboard. Top performers will have the chance to win exclusive prizes.

And for those who complete a lab, there's more. Limited-edition challenge coins will be awarded to the first 500 people that do a lab and complete the challenge questions for that lab.

Learn at your own pace

One of the most powerful aspects of Proofpoint Protect Labs is its self-paced format. You decide when and how to engage. There's no need to coordinate with instructors or attend live sessions. This flexibility makes it easy to fit into your busy schedule while still gaining deep, hands-on experience.
