Proofpoint Launches Proprietary Information Protection Framework to Address DLP Challenges

Proofpoint, a leading cybersecurity and compliance company, is revolutionizing the data loss prevention (DLP) landscape with its new end-to-end information protection framework. This proprietary framework, designed in collaboration with certified partners, offers organizations unparalleled expertise and methodology in implementing and maturing DLP programs.

With only 38% of organizations claiming to have a ‘mature’ DLP program, Proofpoint’s framework comes at a crucial time when the need for comprehensive solutions is paramount. The framework, inspired by NIST guidelines, addresses the challenges of deploying DLP programs in a rapidly evolving data risk landscape.

By leveraging Proofpoint’s human-centric approach to information protection and decades of experience in designing tailored DLP programs, organizations can now access a blueprint that combines people, process, and technology to enhance data protection. The framework also includes a CISO Visualisation Workshop to guide organizations in implementing best-in-class DLP programs.

Key elements of the framework include planning, visibility, and rule-setting, prevention and adaptive response, as well as metrics and governance reporting. This comprehensive approach aims to analyze user behavior and content across all channels, ensuring data protection aligned with industry benchmarks.

Rohit Dixit, Executive Vice President at Proofpoint, emphasizes the importance of addressing human behavior as a significant risk factor for data breaches. With the new framework, organizations can evolve their DLP programs with expert support, safeguarding their most critical assets.

Proofpoint’s information protection program, trusted by over 46 million users globally, is now enhanced with this cutting-edge framework. Partnering with certified providers like Novacoast and InfoLock, Proofpoint aims to drive impactful change in organizations with complex security needs.

To learn more, the framework and CISO Visualisation Workshop will be showcased at Proofpoint’s upcoming ‘Protect’ event series starting on September 10, 2024, in New York City.
