Partnership integrates Proofpoint’s collaboration and data protection solutions into Concentrix SOC services to deliver stronger cyber resilience for enterprises and SMBs.
Proofpoint, Inc. has announced a strategic partnership with Concentrix, a global technology and services leader, to enhance human- and agent-centric cybersecurity across Asia Pacific (APAC). The collaboration integrates Proofpoint’s advanced security platform into Concentrix’s Security Operations Centre (SOC) offerings, supported by a coordinated regional go-to-market strategy.
Under the agreement, Concentrix will embed Proofpoint’s collaboration security and data protection solutions into its managed SOC services. This integration enables enterprises and small-to-medium businesses across APAC to better safeguard their people, data, and digital communications against increasingly sophisticated cyber threats.
Addressing the Rising Human-Centric Threat Landscape in APAC
As organisations across Asia Pacific accelerate digital transformation, expand cloud environments, and adopt AI-driven workflows, cyber threats targeting individuals have grown both in frequency and sophistication. Email compromise, credential phishing, insider threats, and data exfiltration remain persistent risks.
According to the 2025 Voice of the CISO report published by Proofpoint, concerns about material cyberattacks are intensifying. In India, 90% of CISOs believe their organisation is at risk of experiencing a significant cyberattack within the next 12 months—the highest percentage among all countries surveyed. Additionally, 99% of Indian CISOs reported losing sensitive data in the past year, substantially exceeding the global average of 66%.
These findings underscore the urgent need for human-centric cybersecurity strategies that protect not only infrastructure but also employees and digital workflows.
Integrated Security Platform and SOC Expertise
The partnership combines Proofpoint’s human- and agent-centric security platform with Concentrix’s regional SOC expertise and managed services capabilities. Together, the companies aim to deliver measurable improvements in cyber resilience by aligning security operations with broader business objectives and customer experience priorities.
By operationalising Proofpoint’s collaboration and data protection solutions within Concentrix’s SOC framework, organisations can benefit from enhanced threat detection, incident response, and proactive risk mitigation tailored to their specific regulatory and operational environments.
Nelson Soon, Vice President of Channels and Alliances for Asia Pacific and Japan at Proofpoint, stated, “We are excited to partner with Concentrix to extend Proofpoint’s offerings through trusted SOC services across Asia Pacific. By combining our industry-leading human- and agent-centric security platform with Concentrix’s services expertise and strong regional footprint, we can deliver meaningful security outcomes that support cyber resilience and business growth.”
Rishi Rajpal, Global Vice President of Governance, Risk & Compliance at Concentrix, added, “Concentrix is strengthening its managed services capabilities through this strategic partnership with Proofpoint. By combining Proofpoint’s people-centric security platform with our deep regional expertise, we enable enterprises to neutralize emerging threats and accelerate digital transformation with confidence.”
Strengthening Cybersecurity Investment in APAC
This strategic alliance reinforces Proofpoint’s continued investment in the APAC region and its commitment to working with trusted partners to address evolving cybersecurity challenges. With regulatory complexity increasing and threat actors becoming more targeted and persistent, enterprises require integrated security solutions that protect users, data, and digital ecosystems holistically.
Through this partnership, Proofpoint and Concentrix are positioning themselves to help organisations across Asia Pacific build stronger, more resilient cybersecurity programs that prioritise both human risk management and secure AI-enabled workflows.
