Proofpoint, Inc., a cybersecurity and compliance company announced the general availability of its Digital Communications Governance (DCG) offering, bolstering its existing offerings in pace with the evolving modern data governance and enterprise archiving market.
DCG offering
The new offering helps organisations simplify the governance of communication data and provides security insights across all major digital channels for conducting risk.
It leverages artificial intelligence (AI) to surface key data insights, reducing false positives while facilitating high-efficacy information discovery and supervisory review.
Visibility challenges
The current data governance and compliance market has evolved from an archive and repository-centric approach to one that is centered on managing an ever-growing number of digital communication channels and collaboration tools.
This has created a complex challenge for organisations to gain visibility and context across more disparate data sources and threats than ever before, all while supervising employee behaviours, enforcing corporate policies, and meeting a growing number of regulatory mandates (e.g., FINRA, FCA, HIPAA, GDPR).
Unified security and compliance risk management
Proofpoint’s DCG offering leverages the company’s AI engine to create contextualised insights
Proofpoint’s Digital Communications Governance offering provides unified security and compliance risk management that helps organisations centralise all communications content, enforce proactive, adaptive data controls, and streamline e-discovery and supervision.
Proofpoint’s DCG offering leverages the company’s AI engine to create contextualised insights covering every channel and facet of communications data, maximising the efficacy of review by 84% or more when compared to alternatives.
Visibility and AI-driven insights
"With the rapid proliferation of digital communication channels and increasingly disparate data sources, organisations must consider how to effectively solve security and compliance challenges in a fast and high-efficacy way,” said Harry Labana, senior vice president and general manager of archiving, digital communications governance at Proofpoint.
"With significant consequences for non-compliance, Proofpoint’s Digital Communications Governance offering gives organisations the instant visibility and AI-driven insights they need to simplify the delivery of a modern, secure, and compliant environment where employees work and collaborate.”
