Integration of Security Technologies: InfoWatch Traffic Monitor Now Compatible with the eXpress Platform
InfoWatch Traffic Monitor, a major Russian DLP system, has been officially integrated with the corporate communication platform eXpress. The move gives organizations using eXpress for internal communication the ability to detect and prevent data leaks directly within their messaging environment.
Consolidation of Domestic Security Technologies
The integration allows the DLP system to monitor messages and attached files in real time. When the system detects a violation of an organization’s security policy, automated response actions can be triggered: blocking the transmission of data, placing suspicious content in quarantine, or immediately notifying the cybersecurity team.
For Russia’s IT sector, this is a compelling example of how domestic solutions in cybersecurity and corporate communications can merge into a unified ecosystem. Businesses benefit from strengthened protection across communication channels without the overhead of separate deployments. Against the backdrop of rising insider threats and frequent data leaks through messengers, such integration is highly relevant.
Domestic Market Focus and Export Potential
For the domestic market, the pairing of a DLP solution with a corporate messenger is a logical step for customers with strict data-protection requirements, including government agencies, financial institutions, and closed IT infrastructures.
Together, eXpress and InfoWatch offer a more cohesive and convenient security environment, enhancing the perception of Russian-made tools as full-scale alternatives to foreign solutions. Although the current version is tailored to Russia (support for domestic operating systems and compliance with national regulatory frameworks), the underlying concept of combining DLP with communication platforms is universal. With adaptation to global standards and regulations such as GDPR, export opportunities could emerge, but for now the principal market remains domestic.
A clear trend toward more comprehensive, package-style solutions is taking shape. In the future, similar offerings may merge DLP technologies, corporate communication platforms, and cloud or virtual workspaces. This trend is particularly relevant as hybrid and remote work models continue to expand.
A Sustained Market Trend
In recent years, InfoWatch has consistently expanded its integration portfolio. For instance, in 2025 InfoWatch Traffic Monitor was integrated with the corporate messenger Frisbee. This integration strengthened internal data-flow controls and helped prevent leaks. A dedicated service within Frisbee tracks message streams and attachments, while Traffic Monitor analyzes transmitted content and can detect violations, such as attempts to send personal data.
The same year, InfoWatch announced integration of its DLP system with Docs Security Suite. Traffic Monitor can pass document classification data to DSS based on its content analysis. The system can be configured to automatically respond to confidentiality labels in documents, adding another layer of leak prevention. The integration improves detection accuracy for MS Office, ODF, and PDF formats.
Product reviews for InfoWatch Traffic Monitor emphasize advanced capabilities related to content analysis, machine learning, User Behavior Analytics (UBA), and monitoring of cloud channels and distributed infrastructures. These technologies help identify anomalies, automate processes, and control how information flows across different environments. Using AI technologies, InfoWatch Traffic Monitor prevents leaks of confidential information, updates security policies automatically, and helps forecast cybersecurity risks. The product is fully developed in Russia.
Integration with eXpress is not an isolated event but part of a broader movement toward expanding the scope of information-security solutions from traditional DLP systems to comprehensive control of communications and content.
Toward a Corporate Standard
The integration of InfoWatch Traffic Monitor with eXpress marks an important advancement for Russia’s cybersecurity landscape. It provides companies with a solution that combines the convenience of corporate messaging with real security measures, which is crucial for organizations with high data-protection requirements. As Russian messengers and communication platforms grow in adoption, demand for such combinations—DLP + communication tools + document workflows—is expected to rise. These integrated systems could become a new corporate standard in Russia, especially with the ongoing shift toward domestic technologies.
Further development will likely include broader integration capabilities. Connecting cloud workspaces, virtual desktops, and access-management and electronic-document systems will strengthen the versatility and value of such solutions for enterprises.
