New eDiscovery Case Study and Video: Wedbush Securities Uses Proofpoint to Streamline Archiving and eDiscovery

Keeping with our eDiscovery and archiving theme this week, Proofpoint published a new press release and case study about customer Wedbush Securities, a leading financial services firm. Wedbush uses Proofpoint solutions for email security (Proofpoint Enterprise Protection) as well as email archiving and eDiscovery (Proofpoint Enterprise Archive).

The new case study (click the image at left to view the actual PDF version) focuses on how Wedbush replaced its outdated email archiving solution with Proofpoint's SaaS solution with the goals of making archiving and eDiscovery more user friendly, more efficient and better satisfying SEC/FINRA supervision requirements.

Wedbush's director of IT, Mattias Tornyi, says, "I think the performance around eDiscovery is really a big benefit, and something that we wouldn’t get with an in-house solution. I can do any type of search through the system, and know I am getting a response time within 30 seconds. It’s so easy to use and very efficient for IT, Compliance and Legal to perform discovery searches now."

Regular blog readers will recall that I recently posted a video interview with Jeff Bell, the executive VP of clearing and technology for Wedbush Securities talking about how his organization uses Proofpoint. I've included that video again, below, as well as a new "part 2" of that interview where Jeff discusses some of the other security and IT issues (including phishing, mobility and training) that are most on his mind today. Here's part one:
