Product Overview of Dathena (Now Part of Proofpoint)
Dathena, now integrated into Proofpoint’s suite of cybersecurity solutions, is an innovative platform specializing in artificial intelligence (AI)-powered data protection. Here’s a detailed overview of what Dathena does and its key features and functionality.
What Dathena Does
Dathena is designed to address the complex challenges of data loss prevention (DLP), data classification, and compliance in today’s hybrid and cloud-centric environments. The platform leverages advanced AI and machine learning (ML) technologies to automatically discover, classify, and protect sensitive data. This helps organizations manage information risk, ensure regulatory compliance, and safeguard their data against various threats.
Key Features and Functionality
Data Classification
Dathena’s core capability is its AI-driven data classification engine, known as the Dathena 99 A.I. core engine. This engine quickly and accurately classifies data by business category and level of confidentiality, achieving up to 99% accuracy shortly after deployment. It automatically labels sensitive information and provides a comprehensive, user-friendly visualization of classified data files.
Data Discovery and Mapping
The platform scans all files to detect and map Personal Data (or PII), building a comprehensive library of sensitive data information. This includes identifying where the data is stored and who has access to it, ensuring compliance with data privacy regulations.
Risk Analysis and Compliance
Dathena analyzes documents by toxicity and risk, ensuring organizations comply with data protection regulations such as GDPR, CCPA, and others. It performs instantaneous subject access requests and provides a holistic view of organizational risk.
Real-Time Monitoring and Detection
Dathena Detect continuously monitors data access and storage anomalies, analyzing user and data behavior to alert organizations to any anomalies. This allows for efficient risk event mitigation without the need for complex monitoring rules.
Integration with Information Security Tools
Dathena Protect enhances the performance of all known information risk management tools by exporting granular classification tags and keywords seamlessly to any third-party information security system. This ensures automatic data protection policy enforcement and boosts the effectiveness of existing DLP solutions.
Cloud Access Security
The platform is designed to secure cloud access, ensuring that sensitive data is protected whether it is at rest or in motion. This includes live classification of data and intelligent document labeling, which are crucial for cloud-based data security.
Benefits
- Enhanced Accuracy: Dathena’s AI-driven classification is three times more accurate than manual or rule-based methods, significantly reducing the risk of data breaches.
- Compliance: The platform helps organizations comply with various data protection regulations by automatically identifying and mapping sensitive data.
- Operational Efficiency: It improves IT security operations productivity by automating data classification and risk assessment, reducing the time required for full data and risk assessment to just 48 hours.
- Risk Reduction: Dathena reduces data breach risk by up to 80% through its advanced AI and ML-driven data protection capabilities.
By integrating Dathena’s technologies into its Information & Cloud Security platform, Proofpoint offers its customers unparalleled data protection, enhanced compliance capabilities, and a robust solution to manage information risk in a hybrid world.
