Cyberdise vs Proofpoint ZenGuide

A ZenGuide alternative that runs next to Proofpoint email security

Proofpoint's awareness training works best inside the Proofpoint email stack. Cyberdise runs next to whatever email security you use, including Proofpoint.

Bundled with your mail, or on its own

Both run simulations by email and SMS, score people by risk and send reported emails on for analysis.

ZenGuide makes sense if you already run Proofpoint email and want one vendor. Cyberdise treats awareness as its own product, hosted where you choose and with voice exercises on real phones.

  • As a globally operating technology group, protecting our data and know-how from cyber threats is a high priority. With Cyberdise's support, we were able to run a global phishing simulation in five languages for the first time.

Where it runs
Proofpoint's cloud

ZenGuide runs on Proofpoint's shared cloud, with no on-premise option documented.

Your choice

SaaS with servers in Germany or Switzerland, your own cloud, or your own servers.

Voice exercises
Email lures only

Published ZenGuide materials cover callback emails, not live voice simulations.

Real phone calls

Vishing exercises from verified numbers, with consent tracked and every call logged.

Real attacks into training
With Proofpoint email

Turning real attacks into training needs ZenGuide connected to Proofpoint's email security.

With any email security

Mail to Phish turns a real email into a simulation template, on Microsoft 365 or Gmail.

Employee questions
Not in ZenGuide

The published ZenGuide materials list no chatbot for employees' policy questions.

A policy chatbot

Employees ask in plain language and get answers from your own policies.

When the Proofpoint bundle is the better fit

One vendor for emailEmail security, data protection and awareness come from one contract.
Threat intelligenceProofpoint aims training at its most attacked people, based on its own mail flow.
Inbox cleanupReported threats can be pulled from every mailbox, with the right add-on.
Enterprise scaleProofpoint reports more than 90,000 organizations on ZenGuide.

Adding Cyberdise next to Proofpoint

Proofpoint keeps filtering your mail. Users sync from Active Directory or Entra ID, and SCORM courses you built for ZenGuide run in the Cyberdise LMS.

The Report-a-Phish Button takes over from PhishAlarm in Outlook on Microsoft 365 or Exchange on-premises, and in Gmail. Reported exercises stay in Cyberdise, and anything else can still go to the mailbox your security team watches today.

Can we keep Proofpoint for email and use Cyberdise?
Yes. Cyberdise does not replace your email security. It runs next to it.
Do we have to buy ZenGuide with Proofpoint email security?
No. ZenGuide is also sold on its own, and Cyberdise works with any email security.
Can it be hosted in Switzerland or on premise?
Yes. Use SaaS with servers in Germany or Switzerland, your own cloud or your own servers.
Which channels beyond email?
SMS and real phone calls, alone or combined in one campaign.
