Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The product is very robust.""The product is very stable.""The features I like most about this solution is the endpoint modules because it gives us the protection we need.""The synchronize application detection policies have been very good.""I like how I have the possibility to check different channels with the same policy set.""We can integrate with some other tools such as Splunk, which is very useful.""DLP's most valuable feature is compliance.""They have a feature on the management side called the document indexer. Let's say you have a unique document with many near identical versions, which have one or several values that change, while the rest of the content stays the same. You can collect 50 of those documents and put them into this feature of the Symantec DLP system. It will compress them and create a profile specifically for that document."

    Overview

    Keeping sensitive corporate information safe and compliant has never been easy. But today, you’re faced with a totally new set of data protection challenges. Sensitive information is leaving the safety of your corporate network as more employees share files over consumer cloud storage services and access those files on their own mobile devices. The number of targeted cyber attacks continues to grow, as cybercriminals develop effective new methods for defeating traditional security measures and stealing corporate information. And as all of these factors converge, it becomes increasingly difficult to manage corporate information and protect it against loss and theft. 

    Symantec Data Loss Prevention (DLP) provides a comprehensive approach to information protection that embraces today’s cloud- and mobile-centered realities. With DLP, you can:

    • Discover where data is stored across all of your cloud, mobile, network, endpoint, and storage systems

    • Monitor how data is being used, whether your employees are on or off the network

    • Protect data from being leaked or stolen—no matter where it’s stored or how it’s used

    Trellix DLP is the ultimate data loss prevention (DLP) solution, safeguarding organizations' sensitive data from unauthorized access, disclosure, or alteration. This robust system monitors and regulates data flows across networks, emails, and the web, identifying and shielding various data types such as financial, personal, intellectual property, and regulated data. Employing encryption, access control, DLP policies, and monitoring, it secures data both at rest and in transit, ensuring compliance with data security regulations and industry standards. With customizable deployment options, including on-premises, cloud-based, and hybrid, Trellix DLP offers comprehensive protection and rapid response to data loss incidents.
