Business Driver: Proofpoint Information Protection

 

Cyber attacks come from all directions but have one target on their radar: your users. The digital assailant’s goal is to steal your trade secrets or a myriad of other assets. Protecting all attack vectors reduces risk and lowers the opportunity for attackers to compromise your organisation financially or damage your hard-won reputation. Information protection products come in many varieties that complement existing safeguards or offer comprehensive oversight that protects vectors from a central management console. This approach provides a better ROI and helps organisations with limited technical resources to deliver Enterprise grade cybersecurity mitigation safeguards.

Value Proposition: Proofpoint Information Protection

 

Enterprise protection features that protect an organisation’s intellectual property locally on NAS, SAN and across shared resources like Microsoft SharePoint instances add real value to Enterprise security ecosystems. Another feature that bolsters email safeguards is incorporating Data Leakage Protection (DLP) that protects users from themselves or safeguards data from being removed from the organisation by malicious players. Another feature not found in run-of-the-mill security solutions is Email Encryption that adds another layer of security that protects sensitive information sent between stakeholders.
