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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
Being that DLP Experts lives in the data loss prevention world, we keep constant tab of the DLP marketplace. We monitor the ebbs and flows, births and marriages, and yes even the deaths. For many years, there was an identity crisis of sorts, with many different types of products claiming to be “data loss prevention.” […]
Today I met with the third company in as many months that has acquired data loss prevention (DLP) enforcement technologies without also being quoted for professional deployment services. In today’s world of DLP, almost no company should attempt to implement enterprise DLP (network, storage and endpoint) without a professional services engagement. In fact, most DLP […]
The new DLP Buyer’s Guide for RSA Conference Expo 2013 has arrived. In creating this year’s Buyer’s Guide, we discovered some interesting findings. The first wasn’t all that surprising: many vendors are still trying to ride the coattails of the data loss prevention marketplace. Understandably, these companies want to be discovered by potential buyers in […]
A new article from banktech.com says that companies in the financial services industry “are finding that data loss prevention is taking on a new urgency.” With the daily laundry list of new data breaches and the never-ending media coverage, it’s no wonder financial services companies–and those in many other industries–are taking note. At DLP Experts […]
DLP Experts has released a new white paper addressing the issue of architectural complexity–and the movement among some vendors to simplify DLP enforcement technologies. The white paper is entitled, The Evolution of Data Loss Prevention: Reducing Complexity, and can be accessed from the links below. Summary The evolution of DLP technologies has come full circle […]
