Ekco achieves Proofpoint information protection specialisation
Ekco has been awarded an information protection specialisation by Proofpoint. With this specialisation, Ekco customers can benefit from data protection solutions and compliance for data governance.
The data governance market is expected to grow to €6.9 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate of 22.7%, according to the data governance global market report 2022.
Partners using Proofpoint can choose security focus areas for specialist expertise. Ekco has specialised in Proofpoint Sigma, the integrated information protection platform offering visibility into data risk and preventing data loss efficiently.
Pat O’Callaghan, chief commercial officer, security at Ekco, said: “Legacy data loss protection solutions address just one third of the data loss protection problems companies face today, as they are focused solely on content and neglect to identify and mitigate the risks that people pose to data. Solutions like Proofpoint’s Information Protection and Cloud Security Platform also examine threats and user behaviour, which enable organisations to respond quickly to data risk.”
Shaun Bowman, channel director, UK&I at Proofpoint, said: “Data loss is a growing problem, with recent Proofpoint research revealing that 63% of global security leaders reported dealing with the loss of sensitive data in the past twelve months. The information protection challenges faced by Proofpoint’s partners and customers are becoming increasingly unique, so it’s critical that our partners are able to extend their knowledge and understanding of our solutions, to help them address their customers’ challenges in today’s diverse threat landscape.”
