Proofpoint, a provider of cybersecurity and compliance solutions, has launched people-centric security innovations.
The innovations include Targeted Attack Protection (TAP) Isolation for personal webmail and browsing defense, enhanced threat detection, and new Threat Response python scripting.
“Exceptional effectiveness in threat protection requires constant innovation—and today Proofpoint has increased its lead,” said Ryan Kalember, senior vice president of cybersecurity strategy for Proofpoint.
Proofpoint’s TAP Isolation separates web content to provide corporate users with ‘safe and anonymous access’ to webmail and internet browsing while protecting the endpoint and the corporate network.
Powered through its cloud service, the solution claims to be simple for IT to deploy, manage, and support, while simultaneously improving user satisfaction. These capabilities also meet compliance needs by enabling employers to establish a filtered, proxied, anonymous, and secure internet service for personal webmail and browsing use as required by GDPR.
The company’s new enhanced TAP threat detection claims deliver ‘the best possible detection’ rates across all threat types: URLs, attachments, malware, and phishing. It combines machine learning, static, behavioral, and network/protocol analysis, to maximise both the effectiveness and visibility provided to customers.
Proofpoint’s new TAP sandbox environments claims to catch a wider variety of phishing attacks combined with faster scanning and release times. On the malware detection front, it integrates new memory inspection capabilities and improves machine learning to deepen malware detection and stop targeted attacks.
Proofpoint Threat Response users can now also build their own connectors in a python scripting environment. This allows security teams to connect any network device with an API to Proofpoint Threat Response system for analysis. In addition, a new Threat Response auto-pull quarantine dashboard provides users with details of all actions taken and insight into the email, sender, and more.
Kalember added: “Technologically, these people-centric innovations are an important step forward for Proofpoint and our customers. We help security teams proactively defend their organizations from today’s most advanced threats at scale, embrace new devices, and safely empower employees to use personal email and browse the web.”
Proofpoint solutions enable organizations to protect their users from advanced attacks delivered via email, social media, mobile, and cloud applications, protect the information their users create from advanced attacks and compliance risks, and respond quickly when incidents occur.
