See the latest announcements.
Security teams can’t keep up with data risks.
The global datasphere is expected to grow to 393.9 zettabytes by 2028—a 300% increase from 2023—fueled by the rise of AI platforms, DBaaS, and CI/CD practices. Organizations face unprecedented challenges in managing visibility, access, and compliance. Ever-growing data sprawl, poor governance, and insider risks leave sensitive data vulnerable, while the lack of proper controls, such as classification before AI use, compounds these vulnerabilities. Security teams must adapt to tackle this growing complexity.
Discover, classify, and govern valuable and sensitive data across cloud and hybrid environments
Proofpoint Data Security Posture Management (DSPM) discovers, classifies, and governs sensitive data across SaaS, cloud and on-premises environments. With advanced AI-powered, agentless scanning, it identifies valuable and sensitive data to maintain compliance and operational efficiency.
DSPM security prioritizes human and AI-centric risks to data. It assigns monetary value to data, visualizes attack paths, and highlights access risks, enabling security teams to allocate resources effectively. Admin and content owner workflows streamline remediation, reducing attack surfaces like over-permissioned access or forgotten data.
Additionally, DSPM ensures AI tools like LLMs use the right data, supporting safe adoption and enhancing business agility.
Proactively secure your most critical data wherever it is
Enhance visibility to data
DSPM uses AI classifiers to discover and classify structured and unstructured data with unmatched accuracy and efficiency. It ensures business-critical and sensitive data remains protected, whether in SaaS, IaaS, PaaS, or on-premises environments, supporting both security and compliance initiatives.
Prioritize risks efficiently
Our DSPM solution evaluates data risks by assigning monetary value to data, visualizing access paths, and detecting misconfigurations or anomalies. With actionable insights, it enables security teams to focus on protecting critical data and reducing human and AI-centric risks like overprivileged access or misconfigurations.
Respond quickly
DSPM provides actionable remediation steps to reduce risks quickly. With admin and content owner workflows, it enforces least-privileged access and enhances response times to protect sensitive data from evolving threats.
Lower compliance and storage costs
DSPM automates compliance mapping for more than 500 benchmarks, tagging violations, and generating real-time reports. It simplifies audit readiness while identifying forgotten, shadow, or duplicate data to lower costs and enhance data protection.
Secure AI workflows
DSPM ensures safe adoption of AI tools by identifying sensitive data, enforcing data protection policies, and providing real-time sensitivity analysis for AI workflows like or custom LLMs.
Reduce security risk with Proofpoint Data Security Innovations
Key features that strengthen data security posture
Cloud-scale data discovery and classification
DSPM employs a patented agentless, in-place scanner to discover and classify sensitive data at scale. It ensures data remains in its environment, reducing operational risks, supporting compliance, and delivering rapid, accurate insights across SaaS, PaaS, IaaS, on-premises, and hybrid environments.
Risk prioritization and real-time mitigation
DSPM quantifies data value, prioritizing risks by impact and likelihood. With 200+ pre-built risk findings, it detects misconfigurations, visualizes attack paths, and provides actionable insights to mitigate risks quickly, minimize the attack surface, and optimize protection efforts.
AI data access governance
DSPM provides real-time visibility into user and AI access to business-critical data, flagging overpermissioned or dormant accounts. It empowers admins and content owners with intuitive remediation and progress reporting. In addition, it enforces the principle of least privilege, supporting a Zero Trust security model and ensuring secure AI adoption.
Integration with data security tools
Proofpoint’s DSPM solution enriches DLP and DDR tools with detailed insights into data sensitivity, access patterns and risk exposure. DSPM integrates seamlessly with tools like Proofpoint DLP and Microsoft Information Protection (MIP).
Continuous compliance monitoring and data hygiene
DSPM security automates compliance mapping for 500+ frameworks, tagging violations and generating real-time reports. It identifies and addresses forgotten, duplicate, or unnecessary data stores, reducing storage costs and attack surfaces while streamlining audit readiness.
Secure AI workflows and integrations
DSPM monitors the use of your data within AWS Bedrock, Azure ML, and GCP Vertex AI services. DSPM detects when sensitive data is used in training pipelines or retrieval augmented generation (RAG) workflows on these AI services, ensuring traceability and compliance.
