Proofpoint today announced it is extending its partnership with CyberArk. The enhanced integration of Proofpoint Targeted Attack Protection with CyberArk’s Privileged Access Security Solution enables organizations to identify their very attacked people (VAPs), apply additional security policies to their high-risk users with privileged access, and remediate phishing attempts.
The Proofpoint and CyberArk partnership features a combination of layered defences designed to stop threats before they reach users and apply policies and controls that ensure privilege accuracy. Proofpoint prevents email attacks from accessing users and helps to identify the individuals that are targeted by the most sophisticated, highest impact threats. CyberArk takes this insight and applies adaptive controls and policies to ensure those privileged users are only able to access what they need and nothing more.
Organizations worldwide can now use a combination of Proofpoint Targeted Attack Protection (TAP) and CyberArk’s Privileged Access Security to:
• Identify and Manage Privileged Access: Proofpoint TAP identifies VAPs within organizations and shares that information with CyberArk’s Privileged Access Security Solution to manage the access level of privileged users with a high level of threat severity.
• Revoke Privileged Access for Potentially Compromised Users: Proofpoint TAP identifies malicious links within emails, rewrites each URL, and provides click-time sandboxing for every user. TAP insights are then delivered to CyberArk detailing privileged users that have clicked on malicious links. CyberArk then provides real-time remediation to automatically disable certain features, restrict the user completely, or force a real-time password change.
