Proofpoint and CyberArk Expand Strategic Partnership to Comprehensively Secure Identities in Hybrid and Multi-Cloud Environments
Cybersecurity leaders deliver integrated solutions to thwart phishing attempts across all channels while securing identities across the enterprise
Securing Identities Across the Enterprise
Digital transformation and the cloud have altered infrastructures, while mobile technologies and remote access have changed how people work. Traditional endpoint and network-based controls are inadequate given today’s threat landscape—one where identities are the new perimeter and have become critical for organizations to secure. With attackers increasingly exploiting identities thanks to the potential wide-ranging access they enable, 93% of organizations suffered two or more identity security breaches in the past year. The exponential growth of identities coupled with evolving attack techniques underscores the critical need for a paradigm shift towards identity-centric security strategies.
Threat actors continue to target identities as the most effective way to land in and expand their access to the targeted organization. From workforce users to IT admins with privileged administration rights, to an executive with access to confidential data, to a developer with access to code repositories or a machine identity such as an IoT device, identities are cyber adversaries’ preferred path to an enterprise-wide breach. Connecting a human-targeted attack with its potential impact has never been more critical.
The integration between Proofpoint and
“Because attackers now see people and their digital identities as their target of choice, it's time to shift security strategies to protect people and defend the data they create, placing identity at the center of security,” said
“Approaching how we secure identities must drastically evolve. With a single compromised identity, threat actors can attain an initial foothold that unlocks significant opportunities for all kinds of downstream attacks, including data theft and ransomware,” said
Proofpoint’s ZenWeb Browser Extension Enhances CyberArk’s Secure Browser
Web browsers—often consumer-focused and lacking in essential security, privacy and productivity features—are essential to how organizations operate. They are the connective tissue between identities, applications, and data, making them a primary target for cybercriminals and a prominent vector for security breaches.
Powered by Proofpoint’s industry-leading threat intelligence, Proofpoint’s ZenWeb browser extension solution protects employees and contractors from malicious URLs that can download malware or steal corporate credentials and sensitive data. When deployed with
Additional benefits of Proofpoint’s ZenWeb and CyberArk’s Secure Browser integration include:
- Stopping targeted threats and malicious URLs in real-time, independent of how the user encountered the URL
- Identifying and securing privileged users by applying granular policies and minimizing the risk of unauthorized access
- Enhancing user safety with adaptive controls and policies
- Reducing the risk of unauthorized access to sensitive data
- Streamlining incident response and automating remediation processes
Deeper integrations for innovative identity-centric threat remediation include:
-
Leveraging Proofpoint’s Nexus TI (Threat Intelligence), email threats are identified and dynamically assessed for risk, then passed to
CyberArk Identity Flows for adaptive response and remediation. -
Privileged users with high-risk access are singled out for enhanced layers of protection and real-time remediation when threats occur. Proofpoint also automates privileged account and local admin discovery, integrating with
CyberArk to manage and secure them.
