Story
Inside Sainsbury's, security operations used to depend on whoever still had the latest file. That pattern is common in consumer staples groups working out of the United Kingdom. SOC analysts needed a system that would still make sense after the original project team moved on.
Sainsbury's uses Security Awareness from Proofpoint as the working layer for endpoint detection. Proofpoint focuses on human-centric cybersecurity, especially email threat protection, data loss prevention, and awareness training. The practical change is simple: security operations has a home, and reviews happen there instead of in a forwarded thread.
Nothing in this writeup invents a savings number. What Sainsbury's gets from Proofpoint is a durable place to run security operations and a way for SOC analysts to see the same endpoint detection at the same time.
