Comparison · Anzenna vs. Proofpoint

Without the agent.Proofpoint installs on the endpoint. Anzenna reads the signals you already have.

Proofpoint ITM monitors users through a lightweight endpoint agent and a library of rules. Anzenna is agentless, reasoning over behavior, identity, and context across 130+ sources, then assembling the full investigation so analysts review decisions, not timelines.

Where Proofpoint records the endpoint, Anzenna reasons across the stack.

Proofpoint Insider Threat Management is rooted in people-centric DLP: an endpoint agent, an alert library, and an activity timeline analysts triage by hand. Anzenna reasons over identity, SaaS, cloud, and endpoint signals agentlessly, then runs the investigation end to end, so authorized misuse and compromised accounts surface before they become a breach.

FAQ

Honest answers.

How is Anzenna different from Proofpoint ITM?+
Proofpoint Insider Threat Management grew out of people-centric DLP. It installs a lightweight endpoint agent to monitor user activity, capture optional screenshots, and detect data movement through channels like USB, web upload, and cloud sync. Anzenna is agentless and reasons over behavior, identity, and context across 130+ sources, then runs the investigation for you instead of leaving analysts to triage a timeline by hand.
Do we still need an endpoint agent with Anzenna?+
No. Anzenna connects through read-only API access to the identity, SaaS, cloud, and endpoint systems you already run. There is no agent to deploy on Windows or Mac devices, and no coverage gap for unmanaged or contractor machines.
We use Proofpoint for DLP. Does Anzenna replace it?+
Either way works. Anzenna can consolidate UEBA, SaaS security, and insider risk into one platform, or run alongside your Proofpoint DLP, tapping into already-defined classifications and adding behavioral reasoning and self-service remediation that takes load off the SOC.
Does Anzenna capture screenshots or keystrokes?+
No. Anzenna works from read-only metadata, with no screen capture and no keystroke logging. That keeps the privacy and compliance footprint light while still reasoning over the behavior that signals real insider risk.
Is Anzenna itself secure?+
Yes. Anzenna uses read-only access to metadata only, is revocable by the customer at any time, and is SOC 2 Type II certified and Microsoft 365 security certified, including an independent compliance assessment and pentest by Microsoft.

Insider risk without the agent.
