Proofpoint today announced the formation of Proofpoint MSP Platform, a dedicated business unit serving MSPs and SMBs.
The MSP Platform business unit was established through Proofpoint’s acquisition of Hornetsecurity in December 2025. Hornetsecurity’s channel-first platform now serves as the foundation for Proofpoint’s MSP global business.
“Launching the MSP Platform business unit marks a defining moment in Proofpoint’s mission to extend human- and agent-centric security leadership to every corner of the market,” said Daniel Hofmann, GM and EVP, Proofpoint MSP Platform. “By bringing Hornetsecurity’s proven, scalable platform to North America, we are making enterprise-grade protection accessible to the SMBs and MSPs who need it most, safeguarding people, AI agents, and data at every level of the organization.”
The company announced the North America launch of Proofpoint 365 Total Protection, an AI-powered Microsoft 365 security platform built for the MSP channel.
Proofpoint 365 Total Protection enables MSPs and their customers to access the business unit’s full portfolio of cloud security services under a single, unified, multitenant solution.
As part of this North American launch, the MSP Platform business unit has deployed new, fully redundant U.S. data centers in Georgia to support local data processing and storage requirements.
The dual-site deployment spans facilities in Atlanta and Lithia Springs and was completed in just 100 days, from hardware procurement to full installation.
