Key Capabilities / Features

Purpose-built for DLP and insider risk
Proofpoint Data Security protects organizations from data loss and insider threats. It delivers deep visibility into user activity, intent and content across all digital channels, so you can differentiate responses between careless, malicious and compromised users. On the endpoint, a single lightweight endpoint agent serves a dual purpose—to monitor everyday users and risky users.

Fast time to value
Our platform returns value in hours and days, not months and years. User-behavior visibility and AI-models that use machine learning, language models and relationship graphs enable your team to quickly show value to the business without zero-rule configuration or the heavy burden and guesswork traditionally associated with protecting critical assets.

Automate risk reduction
Risk-based automation empowers security teams to take a proactive approach to managing insider threats and data risks. This shifts a security analyst from building manual policies to automating risk detection and response—whether it is to step-up visibility, dynamically automate data controls to deter and disrupt, or collect evidence for cross-functional investigations.

Simplify operations and reduce complexity
Increased efficiency comes with Proofpoint Data Security, as investigations are accelerated for analysts and complexity is reduced for administrators, saving 60% over traditional approaches to defending data and insider risk, while empowering users to change behavior toward becoming defenders of critical assets.

Future-proofed for success
As a core part of the award-winning Proofpoint platform, insider risk and data loss signals provide organizations with broader, adaptive, human-centric security controls. This allows companies to consolidate and reduce risk by stopping threats, preventing account takeover, protecting information, and driving sustained behavior change. Experts provide support through proven advisory or applied services guided by a NIST-inspired framework to ensure program success across people, processes and technology.

How we are different

Proofpoint is the only human-centric platform for data security, delivering the most comprehensive solution for risk reduction across all channels and data sources. Its human-centric approach provides insight into user intent, data, and application access patterns so that analysts can respond quickly and effectively, preventing misdirected emails, data leaks, and insider threats.

Here’s why our platform deserves recognition:

• With Proofpoint, organizations can more effectively and accurately detect and prevent impactful data loss risk with the combination of user behavior and content across all DLP channels, including email, cloud apps, endpoints and the web. This allows for protecting data and alerting on behaviors that are not possible with traditional, content-centric systems and assures far lower risks of false negatives and false positives.

• Proofpoint’s Data Security platform accelerates incident resolution using a single, unified console and powerful analytics. Security teams gain greater context and understanding of risk with cross-channel analytics that show user activities integrated with file activities over time.

• Proofpoint provides the fastest time-to-value with the lowest TCO. With a single agent for DLP and insider threat management, implementations are quick and straightforward. As a flexible platform, it integrates into your existing security ecosystem to leverage current workflows and investments.

• In 2024, Proofpoint enhanced its data security offering with its acquisition of Data Security Posture Managment (DSPM) leader Normalyze. Its AI-powered technology allows organizations to discover, classify and protect data at scale across SaaS, PaaS, public or multi-cloud, on-prem and hybrid environments. This data visibility is foundational for modern security and data operations as the first step to properly safeguarding sensitive information by understanding where data is located at all times.
