Proofpoint ZenWeb Deployment and Installation

This topic describes the installation and deployment options for Proofpoint ZenWeb for Windows and Mac. Because the extension enhances the agent’s capabilities, the agent must be installed and active on the endpoint to utilize these features.

Support for Windows from 3.6.0 and support for Mac is available from 4.2.0.

ITM/DLP product supports only Proofpoint ZenWeb extension when installed from Chrome Web Store. Proofpoint ZenWeb installed from Microsoft Edge add-on store is not compatible with this product. However, the extension does work on the Edge browser if it is downloaded from the Chrome Store.

For more information about Proofpoint ZenWeb, see Proofpoint ZenWeb.

Proofpoint ZenWeb and Mass Deployment Method Tools

Proofpoint ZenWeb extension should be deployed using Mass Deployment Method (MDM) tools but can also be installed on a single endpoint for testing purposes. Deploying via MDM allows you to enforce installation and prevent users from disabling or uninstalling the extension (force install).
