•Proofpoint CASB provides people-centric and high-efficacy security analytics that excel at protecting users from account compromise, malicious files, and data loss. Our agentless cloud security architecture protects your most valuable cloud assets, delivers unparalleled time-to-value and accelerates your migration to the cloud.


•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 CASB also detects and blocks malicious files and URLs using a blend of Proofpoint’s industry-leading hash checking and sandboxing technologies.


•Proofpoint also unified DLP across multiple channels and enables an integrated view of threats and DLP incidents across cloud apps, email, web and on-premises repositories to help customers reduce false positives and simplify operations. Third party apps are an another potential channel for data loss. 50% of employees use third-party add-on apps to increase functionality of cloud apps. Proofpoint risk-scores third-party apps and automates controls based on approved thresholds.
