How we are different

• Cloud App Security differentiates from competitors with people-centric and high-efficacy security analytics that excel at protecting users from account compromise, malicious files, and data loss.


• To detect account compromise, Proofpoint combines contextual data (e.g. user device) and user behavior analytics with the timeliest and most accurate source of threat intel in the market. It also correlates with real-time email threats intel to connect the dots between credential phishing and suspicious logins. The solution’s fine-grained forensics provide unique visibility into at-risk users and account compromise.


• Proofpoint Cloud App Security detects and blocks malicious files and URLs using a blend of Proofpoint’s industry-leading hash checking and sandboxing technologies. 50% of employees use third-party add-on apps to increase functionality of cloud apps. Proofpoint risk-scores third-party apps and automate controls based on approved thresholds. Proofpoint also enables an integrated view of threats and DLP incidents across cloud apps, email, and on-premises repositories to help customers reduce false positives.
