Protect Valuable Intellectual Property and Confidential Information
As email has become the most important communications channel in today's enterprise, email systems have become the main repository for sensitive, confidential and mission-critical information. And enterprises are becoming increasingly concerned about this information leaving the company via email. A recent survey by Proofpoint and Forrester Consulting found that more than 75% of companies polled were concerned or very concerned about leaks of confidential memos and another 70% worried about leaks of valuable intellectual property and trade secrets via email.
The Proofpoint Digital Asset Security™ module keeps valuable corporate assets and confidential information from leaking outside your organization via email. Powerful MLX machine learning technology analyzes and classifies your confidential documents and then continuously monitors for that information in the outbound message stream. Proofpoint Digital Asset Security goes beyond simple monitoring for classified content - content security breaches can be stopped before they happen.
Proofpoint Ditigal Asset Security makes it easy to protect your organization's confidential, proprietary and sensitive information from accidental or malicious leaks.
Easy Training and Secure Document Repository
The Digital Asset Security module employs patent-pending Proofpoint MLX machine learning technology to analyze the documents you want to keep confidential. Putting documents into the system "trains" the Digital Asset Security module to recognize that document and portions of its contents.
Documents can be loaded for analysis through Proofpoint's graphical user interface or by emailing them as attachments to a special mailbox. MLX technology then analyzes the information and stores it in an encrypted form in Proofpoint's secure document repository. Negative cases can also be loaded to train the system to ignore common, non-confidential content such as company boilerplate information.
Access controls let you grant certain business users access to the training module and control which users can email documents to the system for training.
Multiple Category Document Protection
A graphical user interface lets you define categories for different types of documents to secure, each with different access controls and properties. For example, you can create separate categories for internal memos, draft press releases, organizational charts, price lists, etc. Each category can have its own properties such as default time after which documents expire and document similarity matching thresholds.
Flexible Policy Definition and Management
A graphical user interface lets you quickly define policies for handling confidential information that is detected in outgoing messages. Any number of policies can be created to handle specific cases, with a great degree of control. Each policy can trigger based on specific document type and a customizable document similarity score. New "route" definitions allow you to define different policies for protected digital assets depending on whether they are found in the inbound or outbound messaging stream.
Messages that are deemed to contain confidential information can be handled using any of Proofpoint's standard message dispositions including quarantine, reject, annotate, redirect, reply to sender, discard and many others. For example, an outbound message containing portions of a confidential memo can be quarantined and flagged for review by the appropriate manager.
Enhanced Digital Asset Quarantine
A new, dual-pane quarantine view allows administrators with the proper permissions to view quarantined suspect messages side-by-side with the original training document. Portions of the message that caused the message to be quarantined are highlighted along with the matching regions in the "original" document - making it clear which portions Proofpoint identified as a breach.
Reports
The Digital Asset Security module includes graphical reporting capabilities, including the ability to display trendlines showing which policies have triggered over a certain period of time - making it easy to see which types of assets are most at risk.
Supported Document Types
Proofpoint Digital Asset Security can be used to secure nearly 300 types of documents including:
- Plain text and email, such as the contents of a confidential email memo
- Microsoft Word and other word processing formats
- Microsoft Excel and other spreadsheet formats
- Adobe PDF documents
