Spotlight

Identity Threat Detection and Response


Proofpoint Spotlight helps automatically prevent identity threats and detect lateral movements.

When attackers first land on a host, it’s very rarely their end target. This means they need to escalate privilege and move laterally to achieve their objectives. It’s fast, easy, and effective for them to exploit privileged credentials. It’s also hard for organizations to detect. With Spotlight, you can detect these privilege escalations and lateral movements across your environments.
