SOLUTIONS FOR THE
MANUFACTURING
INDUSTRY

Manufacturers face an increasing set of challenges regarding corporate data security of email, distributed file, and social media communications. To meet those challenges, Proofpoint provides manufacturers with a comprehensive corporate solution for email, distributed file, and social media compliance and security—which is especially important with modern day low-volume phishing attacks targeted at corporate data rather than simply end user credentials.

Proofpoint helps you reduce your IT burden by keeping the high volumes of spam out of mail servers, and boost employee productivity by keeping it out of their mailboxes.

As verified by Gartner, Proofpoint provides the best threat protection available today against external malicious threats. Safeguard your business with our industry-leading inbound and outbound email security and a simplified management process. Delivered in one cost-effective, easy-to-use, cloud-based solution, we provide you with enterprise-class availability and scalability to ensure continuous service and complete security.

Guard your intellectual property, including trade secrets, product designs, and product launch information. Now that email, distributed files, and social media are the most prevalent ways of communicating with suppliers, partners and customers, it's more important than ever to choose the right kind of protection.

Proofpoint helps businesses in the manufacturing industry protect intellectual property and other sensitive data by ensuring that email, distributed files, and social media are always secured—whether by blocking the information from leaving an organization or, in cases where the corporate data needs to be shared, by encrypting it before it leaves the organization.

Acquire easy-to-use email encryption, backed by a strong policy engine that ensures all sensitive corporate data is protected before it leaves the organization. Proofpoint Encryption also makes sure that all encrypted messages are branded to your university's requirements.

Recipients of Proofpoint encrypted emails follow extremely simple steps to authenticate and access their messages. No pre-registration or exchange of encryption keys is required to use Proofpoint Encryption; ad-hoc email encryption is fully supported.

Use Proofpoint Encryption to protect your direct communications to your suppliers, partners and customers. At the same time, protect your relationship with them by blocking sensitive communications from being sent to unauthorized third parties.

Proofpoint is available as a cloud-based data security solution and provides all the same rich functionality available as an on-premise solution. Our solution also seamlessly integrates to any cloud-based email solution, such as Microsoft's Office 365, ensuring regulatory compliance while taking advantage of the cost benefits of the cloud.

Defend against leaks of confidential information—and enable compliance with U.S., international, and industry-specific data protection regulations with Proofpoint Data Loss Prevention and Encryption.

Accurately identify confidential information with Proofpoint Digital Asset Security. Using MLX machine learning technology, Proofpoint Digital Asset Security analyzes and classifies confidential corporate data and then continuously monitors for that information in the outbound message stream. Support is provided for over 300 unique document types including CAD drawings, Microsoft Office documents, PDFs, and more.

Set granular policies that allow specific groups of users who employ Proofpoint Encryption to send and receive sensitive information via secure encryption—and prevent other groups from sending sensitive information altogether.

Compliance officers have a dashboard view of their organization. Incidents that require review are highlighted, with a one-click, drill-down access to each specific incident that may require intervention or remediation.

Reports summarize the number of encrypted messages that have been sent and the type of content that triggered the encryption (Credit Card Number, NPI, trade confirmations, etc.).

Access a comprehensive workflow that provides detailed tracking against each incident. Compliance reviews can release messages by encrypting the messages, or leave messages blocked within the quarantine. Severe violations can be escalated for further review. The status of each incident being reviewed is then logged.

Allow sender-based remediation and help prevent inadvertent data loss—the origin of the vast majority of compliance issues.

Proofpoint Smart Send is a feature that gives select administrators the ability to perform sender-based remediation. For example, an employee may attempt to send a CAD file to a business partner. Smart Send can temporarily stop this message, send a notification back to the sender alerting them of the content within the message, but then also provide direct remediation options within the notification: the ability to block that communication permanently, the ability to release that communication, or to encrypt that message before sending (if email).

Smart Send can be enabled for the entire organization or for specific groups.
