Key Features
Adopting a People Centric Security Approach:
Proofpoint provides solutions that can help your organization in the journey to develop greater people-centric security capabilities
Protect Your People from the Threats that Target Them
Solve threats that cover the entire human attack surface, from detection to response. Gain visibility into who is being attacked, how they are being attacked, and whether they are compromised. Protect against attacks in all people-centric threat vectors, including external email, internal email, personal webmail and cloud accounts. Consider protection for your broader business ecosystem and ensure that the people you do business with are not putting your organization at risk.
Help Your People Be Resilient Against Today’s Advanced Threats:
Train users to be your last line of defense. Understand who clicks on phishing attacks and equip them to recognize and report those attacks. Educate users on best practices to keep their identities, credentials and data secure
Protect the Data that Users Create and Access
Protect your VAPs through integrated, isolative and adaptive controls. Secure sensitive data across the digital channels where your people work, including email and the cloud. Make the most of existing investments and extend people-centric security to solve for compromised accounts in cloud apps, including Microsoft Office 365, Google G Suite and others.
Quantify Risk with the Proofpoint Attack Index
One metric you can use to quantify people-centric risk is with the Proofpoint Attack Index. Proofpoint created and implemented the Attack Index to identify targeted people and surface interesting threats from the noise of everyday threat activity. The Attack Index is a weighted composite score of all threats a person receives, based on four key factors:• Volume of attacks: sheer number of threats• Type of attack: for example, credential phish is less risky than remote access Trojans• Targeting of attack: if threats are seen globally, by region, by industry, or by organization• Actor sophistication: if threats are attributed to a known, sophisticated threat actorWith the Attack Index, you can assess and report on the individual and overall risk your people face and then prioritize the most effective way to resolve threats.
Assess Your Human Attack Surface
Proofpoint can help you manage your security risk by focusing on threats that target and exploit people. This starts with identifying your Very Attacked People (VAPs). Proofpoint is strategically positioned to do this and provide you with insight into:• How your people work in high-risk ways: whether, intentional or not, they have a history of clicking on malicious links or attachments or interacting with vulnerable apps• How your people are targeted by threats: whether they receive highly targeted, very sophisticated, or high volumes of attacks• How your people access valuable data: whether they access or manage sensitive systems or data, they might be at higher risk of data misuse, loss, or leakage through business-critical systems or third-party apps
