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