DLP Data Detection Techniques are critical to understanding which DLP solution will be the most effective in accurately identifying an organization’s unique sensitive data types. Unfortunately, the detection methods are not discussed much these days. I think this is because most buyers would quickly recognize why DLP tools have a reputation for ineffectiveness (false positives/negatives, […]
With an escalating cybersecurity threat risk that doesn’t appear to be declining, the Departmentof Defense (DoD) has taken proactive measures in creating the Cybersecurity Maturity ModelCertification (CMMC). Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) is the method the USGovernment uses to audit compliance with NIST SP 800-171. The CMMC will soon be arequirement for any defense contractors […]
Even after all of these years, DLP (Data Loss Prevention) solutions have failed to prevent databreach growth. One of the main problems of DLP is that the solutions only block or encrypt datathat tries to leave the endpoint. Data security should focus on persistently securing datawherever it goes, regardless of location, which means securing data […]
As enterprise software companies turn to SaaS business models, customer data is no longer housed by and under the control of the customer. Given the sensitivity levels of data housed in the cloud, many end-customers are pushing their SaaS software vendors to agree not only to a general data protection requirement but specifically to deploying […]
Who said that? You mean, DLP is not perfect? Recently a Gartner analyst referred to “an important gap” in current DLP solutions. We would take that one step further and say that the inference that there is only one – “an” important gap in DLP – is incorrect. There are many critical weaknesses in leading […]
Data loss prevention technologies often fail to meet an organization’s entire list of data protection requirements. That’s because DLP does one thing: prevent data from leaving an organization. DLP does this very effectively: DLP inspects data leaving the network or workstation. This inspection takes place only at the point of attempted data egress. Any other […]
Click here to request more information on O365 DLP capabilities and comparison More and more companies are seriously considering the data loss prevention features of Office 365. And well they should. O365’s DLP features have come a long way and now provide strong capabilities. But, is Office 365 DLP really enough DLP for your needs? […]
Recent high profile breaches underscore the fact that data loss prevention (DLP) technologies are not as effective as we would hope. There are two major reasons for this: 1) traditional DLP technologies focus too much on content which can be maliciously manipulated and 2) traditional DLP discards non-policy violations (yes, events are simply dumped). DLP’s Content-Aware […]
Microsoft has jumped on the DLP bandwagon with some strong DLP capabilities. We often get asked why not just use Office 365 for DLP? We encourage companies to compare O365 capabilities against the leading enterprise solutions. DLP technologies like Digital Guardian, Forcepoint and Symantec provide better overall coverage and with more effective detection accuracy. Here are some questions to consider […]
The data loss prevention space continues to confuse buyers. Recently a question was raised by a company that is looking for a data discovery tool, with the end goal of protecting their sensitive data. The company is reviewing technologies and bouncing around some different spaces: eDiscovery, Data Masking and Data Loss Prevention. Their requirements include […]
