When I first became acquainted with Code42, we were implementing it at an employer I worked with, and that was a successful implementation. I now work for a consulting firm, and we do system implementations of a variety of different DLP tools, and Code42 is one of them. I still use it, but it is for the benefit of my clients, as opposed to the company I work for.

The pedigree of Code42 came from a toolset called CrashPlan. So, CrashPlan predated Code42's product, and it was mainly in helping organizations prepare for disaster recovery and business continuity planning in significant server environments. We use it in three main areas. The primary area that we use it in is in providing identity into data loss prevention and data loss protection in terms of:

• Where is that unstructured data?
• Who has access to it?
• How did they come to be authorized to use it?

It is a broad-based area of use, and then the other area of use is discovery. Many of our clients engage either with their staff in legal battles, or some other thing, where they need to perform discovery. We support discovery with Code42 as well.

Its deployment was on-premises, and that just happened to be the ecosystem that we chose to work from. It is still going fine, but I don't think it would matter one way or another. From our standpoint, it was fine. Ultimately, we'll probably move to the cloud, but at that time, we were looking for on-premises.

It is an enterprise system, so it can be used in a medium size to large size company, but the thing that we look for is data loss prevention. That's critical for us. The ability to protect against intellectual property theft, the overall insider threat prevention, and then data exfiltration is valuable to us. Many of our clients are concerned about data being exfiltrated from their organization, unbeknownst to them. That's an area around which we create visibility.

Data Leakage Protection on large scale environments. This can be to protect against leakage on endpoints and servers that consist of highly classified or propriety information. It can be added on as a control that integrates into the various egress solutions in the organization. As part of projects for general DLP I have used data classification to identify such silos and create identifiers or use predefined structured and unstructured data that flows through the environment. The most effective way to apply these controls is at tge point the data is accessed between differant parts of the organization.

Code42 allows you to create a policy using risk levels calculated on the basis of employees' behavior. It also provides the ability to customize the information for other solutions for automation. There are a large number of integrations with other solutions with a fully customizable API. 

We primarily use the solution as a backup.

The ease of use is excellent.

The product just always has a continuous backup going, which is quite useful for us.

I took over as a security architect for my current company. They're happy to be using this solution, so I'll be learning more about it as time goes on.

Code42 Next-Gen DLP is deployed company-wide.

I have not evaluated the product from a feature-set perspective, but I had a system that was having CPU issues with Red Hat that Code42 solved.

We use it to back up corporate data. Most of our users are travelers and there have been cases where laptops were lost/stolen.

We are now able to keep our corporate data safe for those who don't work in a center with IT support. 

Used for both peer-to-peer and cloud backup.

• It required very little ongoing maintenance once setup.
• Supported peer to peer storage (they are discontinuing this going forward). Due to the change in direction of the company, I am now migrating to a different solution.
• It has quite a bit of flexibility in configuring backup sets.
• It had the ability to preseed by sending in a data drive and could restore by sending the user a data drive.

Backup of HIPAA-related info.

Restore of data that is pertinent, such as thesis. 

It has helped to alleviate the worry of many faculty and staff backup needs and keeping them current. It has also helped us keep track of who is letting their stuff get backed up, where they are in the world, and how they are using the software.

Backup and recovery have been great, but I love having the ability to keep the hybrid type build which they offer. We host the controller and they host the data. The unlimited storage is nice, too.
