Darktrace vs. Proofpoint Insider Threat Management

In network-related attack detection and response, Darktrace threat visualizer is your best solution. Self-containment and quarantine of suspicious network activities with highly detection rate.

Proofpoint Insider Threat Management (ObserveIT) is well suite for organization that are ready to implement risk based solution and do not compare it feature by feature with Classic DLP products. It's aim to analyze and prevent misuse(both accidental or intentional) and educate users.

• Monitors your network for unusual behaviour; as it learns what is normal for your network, you don't need to worry too much about things that are normal for your organisation, but might be considered odd in other places, triggering as alarms. It can also detect more subtle changes such as a device accessing a server but at an unusual time.
• There are a large number of models that are used to create the alerts, which can all be customised, and you can also create your own from scratch, to allow you to tailor it perfectly to your situation.

• Takes screen captures of user's activities to understand suspicious activities better.
• User friendly management interface makes it better.
• Ease of upgrading all of the related servers and its agent.

• Really had a poor time of identifying devices and what the device's purpose was - a simple nmap scan did a better job. The problem is they expect you to fine-tune the results - which is exactly what you would expect - but day one it found over 2,000 servers (and I only have 112).
• Really had a hard time separating network traffic into locations - I use distinct subnets for my buildings, but there was no good way to create a logical map of my traffic internally. Did not garner a sense of trust that it was seeing everything.
• Sat through a few "analyst" reports - which showed me possible threats in my environment. I am already using a few open source tools, and they actually found more than the analyst reports. Also, there was no way to get the reports on your own - you had to work through their analysts to get the information.

• it can be more affordable
• Many organization are not ready to implement insider threat solutions and prefer classic DLP
• don't have more dislikes

It depends on the our needs actually. Audit has big space on our environment, so we need to put anything infront of them clearly. ObserveIT makes it perfectly.

Darktrace comes with a simple usability interface with easy navigation and organisation.

Darktrace support is excellent in my experience. They send a competent engineer on-site to provide on-boarding training. They were also very responsive in responding to questions and concerns. Having an individual point of contact who is a competent network and security engineer is not a common experience, at least for me.

Easy to access them, immediate response and huge knowledge make them nearly perfect. Also their supports have great sense of humour :)

The Darktrace user interface was improved. Darktrace provides more metrics and more info to decide if an email is malicious or not in doubt case. Darktrace provides a lot of info about the email being analyzed, if there was a previous communication between both parts before for example, it's so easy to deploy.

Proofpoint Insider Threat Management (ObserveIT) is so called next generation of DLP systems ensuring that you can use it after deployment, no need to create comprehensive regex and patterns of data

• Darktrace is covering some lack of security issues.
• Darktrace helps the company to follow some compliance obligations.
• Darktrace can't solve all issues. It needs to work with other Security tools (e.g Splunk).

• Organization will benefit DBA activity and Privileged Access analytics
• Ensures user privacy by anonymizing
• You get full visibility of insider threats and solution can reduce costs by using out-of the box risk activity library
