Proofpoint Data Loss Prevention

 Data Loss Prevention

Data Loss Prevention can be viewed in two distinct ways, the accidental disclosure of personal information and the intentional theft of a company's confidential data.  The Proofpoint Protection Server allows NETprotocol to work with you and secure your borders, and ensure that such information is caught before it leaves the organisation, and is dealt with accordingly.

The Proofpoint Digital Asset Security™ module makes it easy to protect your organisation's confidential, proprietary and sensitive information from accidental or malicious leaks. Powerful MLX machine learning technology analyses and classifies your confidential documents and then applies continuous content filtering in the outbound message stream. Proofpoint Digital Asset Security goes beyond simple monitoring for classified content -stopping breaches before they happen.

The Proofpoint Digital Asset Security module can be configured to monitor key portions of file systems and scan for specific data structures, attributes and signatures associated with your business's critical data.  Once detected, a wide variety of responses are available to deal with this accordingly.

Whilst most organisations want to ensure they keep their confidential data secured, they are also required to keep clients, employees and other Non-Public Information out of the public domain.  The Proofpoint Regulatory Compliance™ module makes it easy to ensure that your electronic communications do not improperly disclose sensitive data about employees, customers or patients. By blocking, quarantining or encrypting such content, it ensures that your organisation follows best practices for data protection. It helps ensure compliance with many different types of email-related information privacy regulations, including HIPAA, GLBA, PCI compliance guidelines and SEC regulations. Predefined dictionaries and "smart identifiers" automatically scan for a wide variety of non-public information, including PHI (protected health information as defined by HIPAA) and PFI (personal financial information as defined by GLBA) and let you take appropriate actions on noncompliant communications. 

In many cases the information can be allowed to leave the data to reach the end recipient in a truly safe manner using ad-hoc e-mail encryption, thereby enabling the business to function without interruption.
