Data protection was always challenging, demanding, and necessary for all organizations. The issue, though, is that problems keep arising as needs and musts increase. One significant challenge, in today’s world is that more and more companies are moving their data to cloud environments which can create difficulties in security. Data now are more vulnerable and exposed to inexperienced cloud users and configuration errors. Another one, is the increasing rate of targeted cyber-attacks with cybercriminals finding their ways around traditional data security.

Nowadays, with remote work company data are more vulnerable than ever. Employees can work from wherever they are and keep working as well on the go. This creates a huge need for endpoint protection. With Symantec DLP solution, a single endpoint agent can discover and prevent attacks. How it works? This solution scans local hard drives, provides sensitive files visibility, and presents responses, such as identity-based encryption. If something appears to be wrong, an alert in the form of an email or a pop-up can inform the user.

Another data leak can come from risky employee behavior in combination with having companies keep taking on board collaboration tools and cloud apps. DLP allows a wide range of communication protocols across the business’s network. The uniqueness of this solution is that all network communications will go under deep content inspection with zero packet loss. This is achieved because the deployment is enabled at network egress points and integrated with the network tap. Therefore, all sensitive data are protected from users in relation to emails and web leakage.

To continue, as mentioned above cloud environments can be risky to data protection – Symantec DLP solution provides strong data protection controls to the cloud. Specifically, a significant number of organizations move legacy IT application to public cloud environments, this does not give the same visibility and control level of data as to private servers. Again, the three capabilities mentioned above (i.e. discovery, monitoring, and protection) are applied to cloud (and on-premises). The solution enables content inspection from cloud apps and web traffic and automatically enforces sensitive data policies.
