With the Covid-19 pandemic, the potential of data loss has increased, adding to the complexity of data loss protection (DLP), regulatory compliance, and governance.

From a DLP standpoint, few businesses were prepare for the realities of a work-from-home situation. Not to mention that it has been proven that employees transfer and exploit data freely, and often in unapproved ways.

Why the need to protect your data is more urgent than ever before?

Cloud migration

For sure, it has never been easy to keep information secure and compliant. However, nowadays, protecting your data has become increasingly difficult due to added usage of the cloud, complex supply chain networks, and other services over which you no longer have complete control. As more businesses migrate away from on-premises systems and toward cloud-based services, company data becomes more vulnerable to accidental exposure by inexperienced cloud users and configuration errors.

Cyber-attacks

However, cloud security isn't the only issue that businesses are concerned about. Targeted cyber-attacks have become all too common as cybercriminals devise new methods for circumventing traditional security measures and exploiting users to steal valuable data from businesses.

Compliance

DLP solutions offer unparalleled insight into a company’s data. In the era of the GDPR, there will be no more excuses for companies to suffer data loss - they will now be responsible in the eyes of the law for any personal data of EU citizens that is mismanaged or misplaced.

How to profit with DLP

There are several benefits that organizations can take advantage of with advanced DLP:

  • Enable complete data discovery, monitoring, and protection across a wide range of channels, including email, cloud apps, network protocols, external storage, and virtual desktops and servers.
  • Gather and analyze outbound traffic on your corporate network, and discover sensitive content and metadata using standard, proprietary, and non-standard protocols.
  • Protect confidential messages from leaks or theft by employees, contractors and partners. Track and inspect all company email traffic and optionally modify, route, or block messages based on sensitive content or other message attributes.
  • Protect confidential data from being leaked on the web. Monitor and analyze all web traffic in the company and optionally remove sensitive HTML content or block request.
  • Find sensitive data by scanning network file shares, databases, and other corporate data repositories.
  • Check content downloaded from cloud applications and web traffic, and automatically enforce privacy policies.
