Proofpoint, Inc., a leading cybersecurity and compliance company, recently 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.
The new offering helps organisations simplify governance of communication data and provides security insights across all major digital channels for conduct risk. It leverages artificial intelligence (AI) to surface key data insights, reducing false positives while facilitating high efficacy information discovery and supervisory review.
Today’s data governance and compliance market has evolved from an archive and repository-centric approach to one that is centred 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).
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.
“With the rapid proliferation of digital communication channels and increasingly disparate data sources, organisations must consider how to effectively solve for 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 delivery of a modern, secure, and compliant environment where employees work and collaborate”.
