Proofpoint’s unique framework and human-centric approach to information protection builds on decades of experience and expertise in planning and executing tailored DLP programs that protect some of the world’s largest enterprises. Now customers can evolve their DLP program, safe in the knowledge that their team is supported by experts who know Proofpoint technology better than anyone.”
Proofpoint Information Protection, relied on by over 46 million users and leading global brands, now provides a blueprint for organizations to integrate data security across all channels, safeguarding information based on user actions, content, and data lineage.
Adam Gray, chief technology officer at Novacoast, commented that, “We’ve long recognized the challenges enterprises face in safeguarding their most critical assets. Our ongoing partnership with Proofpoint, and the expertise and ability to utilize the comprehensive and mature Information Protection Program framework announced today, positions us to drive real, impactful change for organizations with the most complex security needs.”
Sean Steele, co-founder and managing partner at InfoLock, added that, “Proofpoint’s pedigree in this space is unmatched, and we are excited to be one of their select certified partners to bring this tried and trusted programmatic approach to data risk management to market.”
