Each day, my custom DLP news alert delivers a load of new and interesting DLP-related tidbits from around the globe. At it again this week, are a couple of non-DLP vendors touting exciting “new data loss prevention features” added to their product offering. But, are these solutions all they’re cracked up to be? (Parenthetically, let […]
So, RSA is just around the corner and like previous years, there are a number of DLP vendors that have nothing at all to do with “data loss prevention,” yet leverage this phrase to describe themselves. With all the hubbub about protecting data, many vendors just want their piece of the DLP pie, regardless of […]
Since “gartner dlp” is one of the leading search terms at DLP Experts, we’ve decided to provide links to sources for downloading the 2011 Gartner Magic Quadrant for Content-Aware Data Loss Prevention. Please be sure your copy is the most recent given the document was revised to correct some vendor information (for more details see […]
Recent trends show an increase in organizations searching for information on the Gartner Magic Quadrant for Data Loss Prevention (DLP). That tells us it’s that time of year again. Time for Gartner’s annual report on Content-Aware Data Loss Prevention, which, according to Gartner’s Magic Quadrant and MarketScopes information page has been slated for release Q2 […]
With Gartner estimating the Data Loss Prevention (DLP) market to reach $400 million in 2011[1] and with adoption of DLP technologies moving quickly down to the small to medium enterprise, DLP is no longer an unknown quantity. In spite of this progress, DLP remains a market shrouded by confusion over everything from the definition of […]
Again, I’ll take some heat from a number of vendors because of this post, but it’s something I’ve said before and DLP buyers need to be aware of it. In the past, I’ve spoken of the “perfect” DLP solution, but it’s unfair of me to use that word. So, I’ll retract the word “perfect” and […]
It may surprise you to find that many DLP enforcement technology implementations are not even DLP–they’re DLD, data loss detection. Too many companies forget that the “P” stands for prevention. Blocking. Frankly, it’s not really the end user’s fault, rather the responsibility of the vendors. There are a couple critical elements at play in this […]
A common misconception is that DLP must always be architecturally complex. This myth has roots in reality; traditional DLP technologies have been architecturally complex. However, as DLP technologies evolve, there is a move toward greater architectural simplicity. To understand how we go to the architectural complexity, consider the origins of data loss prevention: built for […]
I read a blog post today from Midwest IT Professional entitled Myths of Data Loss Prevention (DLP). The post didn’t really address the kind of thing I consider to be myths about DLP, but it did get my thought process going. So, over the coming days, I’ll present a series of myths related to Data […]
I’ve been hearing about how data loss prevention (DLP) would someday explode on the security scene since I first heard a security analyst claim that 2007 would be the “year of DLP.” Then I heard the same analyst claim that 2008 would be the “year of DLP.” The economy single-handedly proved that wasn’t going to […]
