The Challenge

With a complex hybrid environment and growing compliance demands, the team needed a better way to protect sensitive customer data and ensure secure product architectures.

Manual data classification and posture management couldn’t keep pace with the rapid growth driven by AI and CI/CD pipelines. Informatica needed a scalable, automated solution to continuously monitor assets, reduce risk and maintain compliance, without slowing innovation.

“One of the best features of Proofpoint DSPM is OnePass, patented scanner. The number of false positives with Proofpoint DSPM is significantly less, which helped us save 60% of the time interacting with the product teams.”

Venkat Valleru, Principal Compliance & Security Engineer

The Solution

After evaluating multiple tools, Informatica selected Proofpoint Data Security Posture Management (DSPM) for its ability to deliver real-time asset discovery, risk prioritization and shadow data detection—all from a single dashboard. The solution works seamlessly across cloud and on-prem environments, helping the team identify high-value targets and manage access more effectively.

The Results

With Proofpoint DSPM, Informatica reduced false positives by 60%, saving time and cutting down on unnecessary meetings and manual approvals. Security decisions are now faster and more efficient. Today, Informatica sees Proofpoint not just as a vendor, but as an extension of its internal security team, providing trusted support across technical, leadership and operational areas.
