About Proofpoint Mobile Defense
Enterprises face growing threats from malicious Wi-Fi hotspots and millions of apps on employee-owned devices. These apps can include malware and “riskware” – apps that might not be overtly malicious but exhibit behavior that puts enterprise data at risk. Enterprises face growing threats from malicious Wi-Fi hotspots and millions of apps on employee-owned devices. These apps can include malware and “riskware” – apps that might not be overtly malicious but exhibit behavior that puts enterprise data at risk. Together, these threats expose enterprise users to data leakage, credential theft, and the exfiltration of private information that can be used to target specific employees in advanced attacks. Enterprise users casually access Wi-Fi hotspots and give these riskware apps sweeping permissions, not realizing that their personal and corporate data may be sent to remote servers and advertising networks all over the world, where it can be mined by cyber criminals.

SafeGuard Cyber
SafeGuard Cyber is a SaaS security platform providing cloud-native defense for critical cloud communication applications that organizations are increasingly reliant upon, such as Microsoft Teams, Slack, Zoom, Salesforce, and social media.

Email security lacks the ability to both create visibility outside of email, and primarily defend against malicious files and links. CASB/SASE solutions are difficult to deploy and manage, and the control function is typically left “open” to prevent false positives. Manage day-to-day business communication risk extending beyond email and into enterprise collaboration applications.
