Introducing Proofpoint Enterprise Governance

Jan. 23, 2012 - PRLog -- Proofpoint, a pioneering security-as-a-service provider, is extending its information archiving and governance capabilities with the introduction of Proofpoint Enterprise Governance, an enterprise information governance solution that allows organizations to easily track, classify, apply policies and monitor unstructured information across the enterprise.

Proofpoint Enterprise Governance uses patented, Digital Thread® technology to fingerprint documents and track their versions and destinations across disparate systems. This technology is available via the cloud and is expected to be an integrated component of Proofpoint’s cloud-based platform and application suite.

Proofpoint Enterprise Governance is based on technology obtained through the acquisition of NextPage, Inc., an innovative provider of in-place information governance solutions to global enterprise customers.  NextPage was one of five vendors named by Gartner, Inc. as a 2011 “Cool Vendor” in Content Management*. Customers of NextPage’s information governance solution can benefit from the added capabilities—such as integrated legal hold and archiving features— that Proofpoint can bring to their existing NextPage deployments.
