Case Study: Wedbush Securities achieves rapid, compliant eDiscovery and unified social media archiving with Proofpoint Enterprise Archive

Wedbush Securities - Customer Case Study

Wedbush Securities, a large U.S. securities firm, faced rising IT and compliance strain from an on‑premise archiving appliance that was hard to manage and couldn’t scale to capture growing social media content. The firm needed a cloud‑based, single‑vendor solution to simplify infrastructure, meet regulatory retention and supervision requirements, and speed eDiscovery.

Wedbush extended its decade‑long relationship with Proofpoint, deploying Proofpoint Enterprise Protection and Enterprise Archive as cloud services. Proofpoint imported 20 million legacy emails, converts social media posts to archived email in real time, and provides a single interface for search, supervision and discovery—enabling self‑service eDiscovery, dramatically faster search results (90% of searches returned in 20 seconds or less), and reduced IT overhead.
