Tessian

Tessian — Email data loss prevention platform using ML to detect misdirected emails and accidental data leakage.

-

Our Verdict

Clever accidental-leakage detection, but post-Proofpoint acquisition the independent product story is fading.

Pros

  • ML-driven misdirected-email detection is differentiated
  • Strong DLP signal beyond traditional keyword rules
  • Educational user prompts reduce repeat mistakes
  • Good reporting for regulated industry DLP audits

Cons

  • Acquired by Proofpoint, product roadmap uncertain
  • Historically expensive per-user pricing
  • ML baselines take time to tune effectively
  • Overlap with newer email security incumbents
Best for: Regulated firms (legal, finance) worried about outbound email DLP and misdirection. Not for: Buyers wanting a long-term independent vendor or those focused on inbound phishing primarily.

When to Use Tessian

  • Misdirected email prevention via ML recipient anomaly detection
  • Data exfiltration detection for departing employee DLP
