Proofpoint Endpoint DLP (Information Protection Endpoint Agent)
About the product
Proofpoint Endpoint DLP It is an agent-based solution installed on workstations and laptops that monitors, classifies, and controls how users access and process data. The system operates in real time, analyzing file operations, copying, transferring, printing, moving to USB drives, as well as uploading via cloud applications, instant messengers, and browsers.
The agent integrates with the Proofpoint Information Protection platform, enabling common DLP policies across endpoints, email, and network traffic. The solution supports data classification using content rules, patterns, and integration with Microsoft Information Protection (MIP) and custom classification tags.
Proofpoint Endpoint DLP enables adaptive actions – such as user alerts, operation blocking, file encryption, and incident logging – depending on the user’s risk level, data classification, and usage scenario. It is also possible to track offline activities and synchronize them when the device returns to the network.
