Companies wanting a tool to prevent misdirected emails and exfiltration of sensitive data
About Proofpoint Adaptive Email DLP
Proofpoint's Adaptive Email Data Loss Prevention (DLP) is an advanced solution that leverages behavioral AI to safeguard organizations from both accidental and intentional data loss via email. By analyzing employees' typical email behaviors, trusted relationships, and methods of handling sensitive information, it detects anomalies that may indicate potential data breaches. Proofpoint Adaptive Email DLP identifies and prevents emails sent to unintended recipients, a common source of data breaches, by understanding standard communication patterns and flagging deviations. Adaptive Email DLP alerts users in real-time if an unusual or incorrect file is attached, reducing the risk of inadvertently sharing sensitive information. Real-time warnings educate users about risky behaviors, promoting better security practices and reducing future incidents.

Darktrace / EMAIL
Darktrace / EMAIL is an AI-driven data loss prevention solution that secures outbound email without relying on rigid rules, manual labels, fingerprinting, or constant regex tuning. It combines behavioral and content analysis to understand context, identify sensitive information, and prevent data loss in real time. Label-free, adaptive detection automatically recognizes 35+ categories of personal, financial, and health data, including both labeled and unlabeled content. By correlating outbound anomalies with account behavior and inbound intelligence, it can uncover accidental exposure, compromised accounts, insider misuse, and potential exfiltration before data leaves the organization. A proprietary domain-specific language model analyzes recipients, entities, PII patterns, message context, and user behavior at the point of send, warning employees when an email may be misdirected.
