Comprehensive multi-layered defences are essential for best-practice data loss prevention (DLP). And endpoint protection – such as Endpoint Protector by CoSoSys (now from Netwrix) – is a crucial component.
• It helps defend multiple types of endpoint device.
• It enhances the security approach across complex cloud or hybrid IT environments.
• It ensures a reduced potential attack surface even with a porous perimeter.
DATA LOSS PREVENTION IS CRUCIAL
According to Statista analysis, the global average cost to organisations of a data breach in 2024 is about $4.9 million (£3.7m).
Every organisation needs a practical strategy for tackling the increased need for data and information security. Regulatory compliance and privacy requirements have continued their expansion.
Data loss prevention or protection (DLP) solutions are aimed at preventing sensitive and critical data from leaving corporate computers and the network as well as cloud or on-premise servers.
Robust data protection safeguards critical assets such as confidential or competitive business information, intellectual property (IP), personally identifiable information (PII) and sensitive financial data.
Accordingly, this depends on the ability to identify information and deploy risk-based controls.
A strong approach incorporates reduction of attack surfaces, monitoring for suspicious activity or threats that might result in breach, as well as appropriate responses.
For maximum benefits, data governance can be rolled up with DLP as part of an overall strategy.
70% OF BREACHES ARE AT THE ENDPOINT
According to IBM’s Cost of a Data Breach Report 2023, 70% of all data breach incidents happen at the endpoint. Many cause financial losses as well. That’s why data loss prevention focused barriers to unauthorised access and leaks are vital.
A good, comprehensive DLP solution will enhance both visibility and blocking capabilities even as data moves from location to location.
With strong endpoint protection against data losses, organisations are:
• Better able to protect data and information.
• Better able to enhance data integrity practices.
• Better able to preserve operational continuity.
ENDPOINT PROTECTOR FOR DLP
A strong policy-based approach to DLP such as Endpoint Protector by CoSoSys (now from Netwrix) delivers on multiple essential aspects to defend data in-house and restrict external movement of information.
• Protects computers from threats entering via removable portable storage and endpoint devices such as USB drives, music players, digital cameras, tablets and more.
• Defends computers from exfiltration of information via removable portable storage and endpoint devices such as USB drives, music players, digital cameras, tablets and more.
• Protects networks and sensitive data from cloud services threats, including those posed by popular services like Dropbox or Google Drive.
• Provides full data loss prevention (DLP) and granular mobile device management (MDM) for corporate or personal devices running Windows, Mac OS X, iOS, or Android.
• Exercise control, manage device permissions, and more via an intuitive web-based interface.
• Enjoy centralised overviews of device activity, including – for Windows and Mac OSX – content-aware functionality.
• Features include file tracing, file shadowing, file whitelisting and enforced encryption.
