Proofpoint Joins the Wiz Integration Network (WIN) to Strengthen Cloud Data Security
New bi-directional integration unifies rich cloud security context from Wiz with deep data insights from Proofpoint to provide a complete picture of cloud data risk. SUNNYVALE, Calif., June 16, 2025--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Proofpoint, Inc., a leading cybersecurity and compliance company, today announced the general availability of a powerful integration between its Data Security Posture Management (DSPM) solution and Wiz, a leader in cloud security. As part of the Wiz Integration Network (WIN), the partnership delivers bi-directional enrichment between Proofpoint DSPM and Wiz's Cloud Native Application Protection Platform (CNAPP), providing joint customers with unprecedented visibility, contextual insights, and control over sensitive data in the cloud. Cloud data risks are top of mind for today's CISOs, and with good reason. According to Wiz's recent cloud data security report, 54% of cloud environments have exposed virtual machines or serverless instances containing sensitive data, such as personally identifiable information (PII) or payment information. Even more alarming, 61% of organizations have confidential information exposed in public repositories. With data volumes and sprawl increasing exponentially, organizations face mounting challenges in protecting sensitive information comprehensively across cloud environments. Proofpoint's integration with Wiz fuses data-centric intelligence from Proofpoint with the rich, prioritized context from the Wiz platform, which unifies all risk signals across the cloud environment. With this unified context, security teams can more accurately quantify the risk of data exposure, hefty regulatory fines, and breaches, and allocate remediation resources with confidence. "Traditional approaches, which often rely on metadata or sample scans, fall short in an environment where adversaries can weaponize any weak point," said Amer Deeba, group vice president and general manager of DSPM at Proofpoint. "Combining Wiz's cloud security insights with Proofpoint's data classification enables security teams to see what sensitive data is stored where, who can access it, and the risks associated with it. This integration shifts the paradigm toward comprehensive risk visibility so that teams can make better, faster decisions backed by high-fidelity data." "Wiz gives organizations deep visibility into their cloud environments, while Proofpoint brings rich insight into the sensitive data that lives there," said Oron Noah, vice president of Product & Extensibility at Wiz. "Together, we help customers understand where their most critical risks are and can take the right steps to protect them. It's a powerful combination for staying ahead of cloud risks and keeping sensitive data secure." A Unified Risk Lens for Joint Customers, Designed for Today's Multi-Cloud Reality The integration between Proofpoint DSPM and Wiz, available today, delivers powerful bi-directional enrichment, enabling joint customers to gain comprehensive visibility into their cloud data risk landscape. Proofpoint ingests Wiz Issues that combines multiple risks like vulnerabilities, misconfigurations, and other risks and contextualizes this with data exposure findings, while simultaneously sending advanced data classification and sensitivity scoring back to Wiz to enhance risk prioritization across cloud data stores like Amazon S3, Google Cloud Storage, and Azure. Unlike traditional tools that rely on data sampling, Proofpoint DSPM provides full and continuous scanning of both structured and unstructured data. This enables 100% visibility into what sensitive data exists, how it is classified, and its monetary value—insights that are critical for compliance, post-breach investigations, and proactive risk reduction. This mutual exchange gives security teams a unified risk view and strengthens their ability to detect, prioritize, and mitigate threats more effectively. Proofpoint's DSPM also supports broader integration across its cybersecurity ecosystem—including email security, endpoint DLP, and insider threat management—ensuring seamless protection across vectors. Proofpoint also supports SaaS applications and platforms like Databricks, ensuring broad visibility into sensitive data wherever it lives, not just in cloud infrastructure. Key joint customer benefits include: Unified Risk Assessment: Combined CNAPP and DSPM insights surface critical risks across cloud data environments. Enhanced Security Posture: Better visibility leads to smarter, faster remediation decisions. Actionable Insights: Contextual data enhances security workflows and risk severity assessments. Advanced Classification: Proofpoint's insights include sensitivity scores, data value, and breach likelihood. Demonstration at AWS re:Inforce 2025 Proofpoint will showcase the integration with Wiz at AWS re:Inforce, taking place June 16–18 in Philadelphia. Attendees can learn more about the joint solution during a live demo at the Wiz booth on Tuesday, June 17 at 4:00 PM ET.

Regional SA, NSW towns to lose free-to-air AFL and cricket
Substantial areas of South Australia and NSW could lose free-to-air coverage of the AFL, Australian cricket Tests and the Big Bash League after regional network WIN announced it would stop broadcasting Channel Seven there from July 1. The Riverland and Mount Gambier regions east and south-east of Adelaide and the area around the NSW town of Griffith will lose the signal for channels Seven, 7mate and 7two from next month after WIN said Seven had refused to renew a commercial agreement.
