Ebook Understanding and Selecting a Data Loss Prevention Solution
Data Loss Prevention is one of the most hyped, and least understood, tools in the security arsenal. With at least a half- dozen different names and even more technology approaches, it can be difficult to understand the ultimate value of the tools and which products best suit which environments. This report will provide the necessary background in DLP to help you understand the technology, know what to look for in a product, and find the best match for your organization.
DLP is an adolescent technology that provides significant value for those organizations that need it, despite products that may not be as mature as in other areas of IT. The market is currently dominated by startups, but large vendors have started stepping in, typically through acquisition. DLP solutions both protect sensitive data and provide insight into the use of content within the enterprise. Few enterprises classify data beyond that which is public, and everything else.
DLP helps organizations better understand their data and improved their ability to classify and manage content. Point products may provide some DLP functionality, but tend to be more limited in either their coverage (network only or endpoint only) or content analysis capabilities. This report will focus on comprehensive DLP suites, but some organizations may find that a point solution is able to meet their needs.
