Proofpoint Launches People-Centric Enterprise Data Loss Prevention (DLP) and Introduces Nexus People Risk Explorer
September 09 2020 - 8:05AM
Proofpoint, Inc., (NASDAQ: PFPT), a leading cybersecurity and
compliance company, today announced multiple new Proofpoint
innovations to ensure that organizations worldwide have end-to-end
protection around their people—wherever and however employees are
working and collaborating. Available today, Proofpoint’s new
people-centric Enterprise DLP solution helps organizations identify
and quickly respond to data loss resulting from negligent,
compromised, or malicious users. Proofpoint’s Nexus People Risk
Explorer is also available, providing the industry’s first unified
view of vulnerable, attacked, and privileged users.
Each of these Proofpoint innovations provide a new
people-centric security and compliance blueprint for email, cloud,
and information protection. Key additional enhancements include
Proofpoint’s Cloud App Security Broker (CASB) IaaS and DLP
functionality along with new Proofpoint business email compromise
(BEC) and email account compromise (EAC) imposter classification
and remediation.
“If it wasn’t clear before 2020, it certainly is now: people are
the enterprise perimeter,” said Ryan Kalember, executive vice
president of Cybersecurity Strategy for Proofpoint. “We put people
at the center of our innovation roadmap, which has allowed us to
break new ground in solving core cybersecurity challenges like DLP.
Data doesn’t lose itself – there’s always a negligent, compromised,
or malicious user involved – so a people-centric approach can
succeed where prior solutions failed. Our latest innovations
deliver necessary cloud-based protection across all major channels
regardless of a user’s location, communication method or regulation
requirements.”
Proofpoint’s people-centric DLP, user visibility, CASB, and
BEC/EAC innovations include:
- People-centric Enterprise DLP Platform: This
new people-centric DLP platform brings together the Proofpoint
cloud, email, and endpoint DLP solutions. All content, user
behavior, and threat telemetry are combined across channels in a
new unified investigations interface to help organizations identify
and respond quickly to data risks posed by negligent, compromised,
and malicious users.
- Nexus People Risk Explorer: Available as a
beta starting today, the new Proofpoint Nexus People Risk Explorer
provides CISOs and strategic security leaders with a people-centric
way to identify risky users, including the most attacked, most
vulnerable, and most privileged users in an organization into a
single view. Additionally, the tool provides actionable recommended
risk mitigations, such as isolating URLs in the emails of users who
are both very attacked and fail phishing simulations.The underlying
risk model leverages machine learning and combines real-time
Proofpoint Nexus threat telemetry across cloud (CASB), email, and
security awareness training. This multi-trillion data point threat
graph includes more than two billion daily emails, 13 million
active cloud accounts, 86,000+ social media accounts, and
400,000-600,000 daily malware samples.
- Proofpoint Cloud App Security Broker (Proofpoint CASB)
IaaS and DLP functionality: Available this quarter,
Proofpoint CASB will expand its infrastructure as a service (IaaS)
resource and account protection, discovery, and governance, a
capability often referred to as Cloud Security Posture Management
(CSPM). In addition, users can now monitor their cloud
infrastructure for threats and detect DLP incidents for swift
remediation. This is especially critical following Proofpoint’s
recent discovery of a vulnerability in the implementation of cloud
multi-factor authentication (MFA) that utilizes WS-Trust, which
could allow attackers to bypass MFA and access cloud applications
that use the protocol, notably Office 365. This research will be
presented at the upcoming Proofpoint Protect virtual customer event
on September 9, 2020.
- Enhanced Proofpoint Business Email Compromise (BEC) and
Email Account Compromise (EAC) Protection: Available this
quarter, Proofpoint Email Protection will feature a detailed
imposter threat view with the ability to classify different BEC
techniques including fake invoicing and payroll redirection. This
enhanced visibility into BEC attempts will complement automatic
quarantine and end user alerts. In Q4, Proofpoint customers will
also have access to a new Supplier Risk Dashboard for additional
insight into supplier invoicing fraud and supplier account
compromise.
