Overview

Proofpoint Identity Threat Defense, built on the acquired Illusive technology, discovers and remediates identity vulnerabilities and attack paths, and deploys deception to catch privilege escalation.

Capability deep-dive

Attack-path discovery, privilege risk remediation, and deception are the strengths, integrated with Proofpoint's threat platform. It is one part of a larger security portfolio, so depth versus pure-play ITDR varies.

Pricing

Enterprise subscription, quote-based.

Bottom line

A strong identity-attack-path and deception capability, especially for Proofpoint customers.
