Proofpoint adds Content Collection module for SharePoint
Cloud email provider Proofpoint has released a new tool to automate the collection and preservation of information for legal holds residing on Microsoft SharePoint. The new module works in conjunction with Proofpoint Enterprise Archive.
Proofpoint’s Content Collection module for SharePoint automates the process and targets specific SharePoint servers.
"The Content Collection module for SharePoint substantially extends the value of Proofpoint Enterprise Archive's robust legal hold capabilities," said Proofpoint Vice President of Archiving & Governance Darren Lee.
"It is also a concrete demonstration of Proofpoint's vision to utilise its existing Enterprise Governance capabilities to identify and control information" in the wild. "In the case of overgrown SharePoint sites, this not only means finding needles in a haystack, but finding them when the number of haystacks grows organically, and when the needles move from one stack to another."
Proofpoint's agent-based technology reaches out to targeted servers and SharePoint sites in advance to capture metadata before it is needed for a search.
