根據追蹤以色列科技行業的startup Nation Central的數據，迄今為止，這家網絡安全公司已經從包括微軟風投、New Enterprise Associates、Bessemer Venture Partners、花旗風投、思科投資和埃裏克·施密特的Innovation Endeavors在內的投資者那裏籌集了總共5400萬美元。總部位於加州森尼維爾的Proofpoint公司表示，此次收購正值全球針對企業的網絡攻擊增多之際，黑客正將他們的策略和重點轉向基於身份的攻擊。根據《2022年數字身份安全趨勢報告》，在過去一年中，約84%的組織成為與身份相關的攻擊的受害者，而2021年這一比例為79%。黑客概念的說明性照片。Proofpoint的網絡安全戰略執行副總裁瑞安·卡蘭伯說:“目前，攻擊者很容易將一個受損的身份轉變為整個組織範圍內的勒索軟件事件或數據泄露。”對Illusive的收購加強了Proofpoint對創新和增長的承諾，帶來了市場定義的技術，使威脅者的工作盡可能地困難。”advertising Illusive開創了網絡安全技術的新範式，在係統上覆蓋了一層無形的安全層，旨在對抗能夠突破傳統防禦的黑客。因此，對黑客來說，尋找數據成為一項難以捉摸的任務，因為他們會被虛幻的數據點分散注意力，而這些數據點的設計目的是將他們引向錯誤的方向。當攻擊者根據虛假信息采取行動時，Illusive會抵消攻擊，並觸發詳細的漏洞報告，使安全管理員能夠在早期階段檢測、跟蹤和遏製攻擊。Illusive創始人兼首席執行官israel說:“通過專注於保護身份安全漏洞和阻止勒索軟件的威脅，Illusive正在解決其他人無法解決的問題，這激發了全球對我們解決方案的需求。” This is the fourth acquisition by Proofpoint in Israel after buying Israeli-founded ObserveIT, a maker of software that identifies insider cybersecurity threats, in 2019. The firm acquired FireLayers, focused on cloud security, in 2016, and MetaNetworks, which secures access networks. Proofpoint has developed software to help firms protect their assets by protecting their employees at their entry points. Founded by Eric Hahn in 2002, the firm’s technology is used by 75% of Fortune 100 companies. It employs more than 3,600 employees serving over 8,000 enterprises worldwide, according to the company website. In 2021, Proofpoint was acquired by Thoma Bravo, a private equity software investing firm, in a deal valued at $12.3 billion. Israeli politics told straight I joined The Times of Israel after many years covering US and Israeli politics for Hebrew news outlets. I believe responsible coverage of Israeli politicians means presenting a 360 degree view of their words and deeds – not only conveying what occurs, but also what that means in the broader context of Israeli society and the region. That’s hard to do because you can rarely take politicians at face value – you must go the extra mile to present full context and try to overcome your own biases. I’m proud of our work that tells the story of Israeli politics straight and comprehensively. I believe Israel is stronger and more democratic when professional journalists do that tough job well. Your support for our work by joining The Times of Israel Community helps ensure we can continue to do so. Thank you,
