Proofpoint Data Security Posture Management (DSPM) empowers organizations to discover, classify and secure their data—no matter where it resides. Using AI-powered, agentless scanning across multi-cloud and on-premises data environments, DSPM identifies and remediates data exposure, over-permissioned access, abandoned data risk, data breach paths and compliance violations—without disrupting business operations.
