Proofpoint (a leading cybersecurity and compliance company) announced the acquisition of Nuclei, a U.S.-based technology company specializing in compliance archiving and AI-driven data enrichment for modern workplace communications.
With this deal, Proofpoint will further enhance its market-leading digital communications governance (DCG) capabilities, providing the ability to capture, retain, and analyze communications across workspace collaboration platforms, including Microsoft Teams, Slack, Zoom, Webex, WhatsApp, and RingCentral Voice. Proofpoint will continue to support seamless integration with a wide range of archive and data governance platforms, ensuring our connectors deliver reliable, compliant interoperability across diverse customer environments.
The Nuclei platform enables organizations to:
1.) Capture and archive data from hundreds of applications – Nuclei integrates with 100+ applications to automatically capture and archive messages, attachments, and metadata across collaboration tools.
2.) Unlock AI transformation with AI data enrichment – The platform offers speech recognition in 120+ languages, real-time transcription, automatic translation, and video analysis, enabling organizations to derive actionable insights from their communication data.
3.) Seamlessly integrate with existing archive platforms – Nuclei supports seamless integration with major compliance archives, including Proofpoint, Smarsh, Global Relay, Arctera, and Microsoft Purview, ensuring that organizations meet regulatory requirements.
4.) Benefit from scalability and security – Built on a serverless architecture following Amazon Web Services best practices, Nuclei emphasizes real-time compliance and robust security measures, including third-party audits by firms like Vanta. And it offers end-to-end encryption to protect data in transit, encrypting content from the point of capture to storage in the archive.
Human communication is a source of insight, capturing thoughts, intentions, and shared knowledge that can drive behavioral understanding, process automation, and risk identification. And Nuclei offers a comprehensive platform that enables the capture, archiving, and analysis of this communication data, empowering organizations to extract actionable intelligence while ensuring compliance.
