My main use case for Fortra's Digital Guardian is that I don't configure the software directly; instead, I experience it as an end-user on my corporate laptop where it runs silently in the background while I work, and I don't have any problems with it. It's a good tool for me. I can give you a specific example of how Fortra's Digital Guardian interacts with my daily tasks: since it's fully managed by my company's IT department, there is no user interface or dashboard for the end-user, so I don't interact with the software. However, I run heavy Python scripts with Selenium that automate browser tasks and send data to n8n via HTTP requests. Many security tools tend to block these automated processes or flag them as suspicious, but Fortra's Digital Guardian runs smoothly in the background without interfering with my scripts or slowing down PyCharm or the tools I use, so it's a nice tool for me.

Fortra's Digital Guardian serves as our main DLP tool. We utilize its policy to either block or allow users depending on their use cases. For example, we configure policies to block users from copying files to external sources or external sites or other non-Accenture authorized storages, including cloud storages or any unauthorized file movement. Policies are in place to block those activities. For some people who have certain exemptions depending on their project or client needs or approved use cases, we also implement exemption policies.

I work with Fortra's Digital Guardian as a consultant. As of now, I am using Fortra's Digital Guardian for Endpoint DLP and Network DLP. Endpoint DLP stands out because it can detect activity without implementing any rules. Unlike other DLP solutions where you need to configure rules and policies, Fortra's Digital Guardian can detect any user activity after installation and commissioning without the need for policy implementation. Fortra's Digital Guardian can detect Windows most effectively, but it can also detect other operating systems such as Linux and Mac, addressing the cross-platform protection issue.

I have been handling the clients who use the product. My current company is the reseller connected with the tool from the time it was known as Digital Guardian, and then recently after it was changed to Fortra's Digital Guardian. It has been almost five years working with the tool. The tool's use cases depend on the client's needs and whether it can apply the DLP or nDLP features in a company's environment. My company needs to ask the clients what things they need in terms of eDLP so that we can compensate and finalize a solution to apply to the environment. So far, the tool has been working fine, but sometimes we are facing struggles. Support from Fortra's Digital Guardian does offer help to our company.
