Data Loss Prevention

Snapguard 2.0 Data Loss Prevention (DLP) operates flawlessly regardless of where your employees or your critical data reside. It can scan every file on every PC in your organization to uncover where confidential ‘Data At Rest’ is stored, as well as prevent confidential ‘Data In Motion’ from leaking out (via email / attachments, USB devices, web postings, etc.). In today's increasingly mobile world, where employees and contractors alike demand instant access to corporate assets and confidential information from remote locations, protecting that information can be extremely difficult. Traditional network-based solutions have penetrable perimeters. Removable media? Webmail? Instant Messaging? All these escape the control of many of our competitors. Thus, they offer only limited protection.

Snapguard 2.0 DLP is superior because it can identify and protect sensitive information no matter where it's being accessed. It operates pre-emptively to keep your organization continuously ahead of today's constantly evolving threat landscape. Snapguard 2.0 DLP is installed at the desktop level and reports back over encrypted HTTPS protocols, instead of over the network. This is crucial as it streamlines the process of detecting and blocking any unauthorized attempts to move data outside the organization. Put simply, Snapguard 2.0 DLP builds a protective circumference around each computer in your organization, rather than just network traffic. This means Snapguard 2.0 DLP is more effective and comprehensive in securing your confidential data than network-based solutions.

Snapguard 2.0 DLP uncovers your risks by scanning all of the PCs in your organization to show you where confidential information resides (Data At Rest).

Snapguard 2.0 DLP prevents confidential Data In Motion from leaking out of your organization via webmail, attachments, web postings or USB devices.

How Data Loss Prevention works

How Data at Rest Works

Patented single agent Cloud architecture

Snapguard 2.0 DLP patented Single Agent architecture allows you to identify, track and control who accesses your data, what data they access, and what they can and cannot do with that data. Most importantly, all of this is done with an application that can be deployed and configured in a matter of minutes with a minimum of allocated resources. Other DLP solutions can take weeks or months to setup, they require training courses for policy creation and create significant strains (financial and operational) on the organization

Confidential data is often lost through errors and oversights, rather than malicious intent. For example, the wrong recipient is mistakenly added to a group email containing sensitive company financial data or customer credit card information. Snapguard 2.0 DLP not only blocks the email from getting into the wrong hands, it is also configured to educate employees to adopt due care and best practices, as set by your company policy. It lets users and administrators choose the appropriate trade-off between a high detection rate on one hand and a low level of false positives on the other.

Removeable media monitoring & control

Snapguard 2.0 DLP integrated Removable Media Monitoring and Control strikes the ideal balance between protection of a business’s assets and the efficiency of day-to-day operations. It blocks the copying of any file to removable media (USB drive, iPod, external hard drive) based on the file's content, and the employee’s job function. So, an employee’s computer or user profile can be set, using Snapguard 2.0 DLP, to allow copying of email, attachments and attempts to write to removable media, but not spreadsheets with confidential company financials. This is much more targeted and so more effective than competitor solutions, which frequently employ an “all or nothing” approach when it comes to removable media

Easy to use & install

Snapguard 2.0 DLP patented software architecture runs on computers across the organization, even those computers that never connect to the corporate network. Snapguard 2.0 DLP can be installed in minutes, without the need for dedicated hardware, and managed centrally from any web browser. It is flexible and scalable. It can operate as a Cloud service, or behind your company’s firewall in the guise of Snapbox, a purpose built hardware appliance. Snapguard 2.0 DLP makes real-time security decisions to detect and prevent threats to the confidential data inside your organization.
