Proofpoint Privacy Protocol

Surveys have shown that the leading channel of data loss occurs with corporate email. But right behind that is data loss via the web protocols – with loss occurring through webmail, instant messaging services, as well as social networking platforms. Protecting data loss across all protocols is critical in maintaining a secure data protection strategy.

Proofpoint Enterprise Privacy is not only capable of filtering email traffic, but leveraging the ICAP protocol and any ICAP compatible web-proxy, the same policies and advanced detection capabilities can be extended to web protocols, covering leakage from vectors such as webmail or blog posts.

Proofpoint Privacy Protocol Key Capabilities:

• SMTP: Proofpoint Enterprise Privacy is an email gateway-based solution, effectively protecting your SMTP protocol against data leaks.
  
  
• HTTP: The advanced policy and detection capabilities of Proofpoint Enterprise Privacy can be leveraged across to the HTTP protocols by leveraging any ICAP compatible web-proxy. This provides the ability to cover data leakage from webmail, instant messaging, blog posts, or updates to social networking sites.
