Proofpoint Unveils AI-Powered Digital Communications Governance Solution

Proofpoint, Inc., a cybersecurity and compliance firm, has officially launched its Digital Communications Governance (DCG) solution, enhancing its portfolio to meet the demands of the rapidly evolving data governance and enterprise archiving landscape. The new offering is designed to help organizations streamline the governance of communication data, providing robust security insights across all major digital channels to mitigate conduct risk. By harnessing the power of artificial intelligence (AI), the DCG solution reduces false positives, enhances information discovery, and improves supervisory review efficiency.

The modern data governance and compliance market has shifted from traditional archive-centric approaches to a focus on managing an increasing number of digital communication channels and collaboration tools. This shift presents a complex challenge for organizations, requiring enhanced visibility and context across disparate data sources while ensuring regulatory compliance (e.g., FINRA, FCA, HIPAA, GDPR) and enforcing corporate policies.

Proofpoint’s DCG solution offers unified security and compliance risk management, centralizing communications content, enforcing adaptive data controls, and streamlining e-discovery and supervision processes. The AI-powered solution provides contextualized insights across all communication channels, increasing review efficiency by over 84% compared to alternative methods.

“With the rapid growth of digital communication channels and the complexity of data sources, organizations must address security and compliance challenges swiftly and effectively,” said Harry Labana, Senior Vice President and General Manager of Archiving and Digital Communications Governance at Proofpoint. “Proofpoint’s Digital Communications Governance offering provides organizations with the instant visibility and AI-driven insights necessary to create a secure and compliant work environment.”

Key Features and Benefits:

– Comprehensive Data Governance: Manage communications across 80+ channels, including SMS, WhatsApp, Microsoft Teams, Zoom, Slack, and social media platforms.

– AI-Enhanced Compliance Risk Response: Utilize AI-assisted review models to detect over 200 risks across various communication channels, improving alert relevancy.

Proofpoint will showcase its DCG solution at the upcoming ‘Protect’ event series, starting on September 10, 2024, in New York City.
