Data Loss Prevention
Are You Concerned About Your Company’s Sensitive Files and Data Falling into the Wrong Hands? Do You Have Specific Compliance Regulations Regarding the Safeguarding of Your Company’s and Clients’ Data? (HIPAA, SOX, PCI, etc.)?
In small and midsize businesses, the greatest data security risk might not be the educated hacker, but the uneducated end user. The number of data breach events continues to mount every year, resulting in fines, penalties and loss of revenue and reputation for companies worldwide. Surprisingly, most data loss events are caused by trusted employees that leak sensitive data, either intentionally or by accident.
Our DLP solutions (through a partnership with Palisade Systems) give you the insight of knowing where your sensitive data lies on your network, and the controls to safeguard it against data leaks. Combining our systems with business processes dedicated to the safeguarding of your company’s sensitive data, is the best way to prevent data breaches, and other information leakage events.
What Is DLP (Data Loss Prevention)?
The term data loss prevention (or sometimes data “leak” prevention) is often used to describe a specific product or technical solution which addresses the need to prevent loss of intellectual property or otherwise sensitive information.
Your Business at Risk — Meeting Regulations and Privacy Laws
Your business is at risk every day that you don’t protect sensitive data the government requires you to protect. Sensitive information your business requires, such as Personal Identifiable Information (PII), Social Security numbers, account numbers, Protected Health Information (PHI) and private financial information can be at risk of leaving your network, and you don’t even know it!
Leaks, or data loss, cost millions in fines under regulations including Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA), the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (GLBA), Sarbanes-Oxley (SOX), the Children’s Internet Protection Act (CIPA), Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS), and state privacy rules.
Palisade DLP protects and secures all types of sensitive data to protect you and your business, including:
- Credit card numbers
- Social Security numbers
- Patient medical records
- Trade secrets
- Other sensitive information
Palisade DLP — Protection Your Business Deserves
Palisade DLP guards your enterprise network, monitoring the perimeter for data leaks and providing Data Loss Prevention (DLP).
Palisade DLP analyzes the content of files and data being transferred on your network in real time. It identifies private data and blocks the data, quarantines it for later inspection, or sends it to a third-party encryption engine. Palisade DLP also identifies private data residing on local or remote file systems. Palisade DLP can block specific network protocols as well. It is the only solution that secures both private content and the protocols running on your network. Palisade DLP stands guard over email, instant messages, the Web, social networks, file transfers, and other Internet applications. It inspects outgoing traffic looking for patterns indicating protected information. When it finds a potential data breach, it takes action, protecting confidential information without disrupting your company’s business process.
Palisade DLP helps prevent data loss by performing deep packet inspection across all communication
channels including:
- Web (HTTP),
- Email (SMTP),
- File Transfers (FTP),
- Webmail,
- and other custom protocols.
