Content Aware Security

As Organizations continue to implement various tools and endpoints for employees to work more efficiently, they are creating a higher potential for information to be leaked out. As the volume of data continues to grow within an organization, data security teams may have little or no visibility into where confidential data is stored or who has access to that data.

Symantec Data Loss Prevention provides a solution towards content aware security. Implementing a Data Loss Prevention solution involves integrating technology with business initiatives and requirements. This requires a detailed analysis of existing business processes, IT Infrastructure etc.

While an IDS / IPS solution protects an Infrastructure from external threats, the DLP Content Aware approach protects organizations from Internal threats. These threats could be a malicious employee, vendor etc trying to leak confidential information. DLP also provides a greater insight into existing business processes, thus enabling Organizations identify broken processes, if any.
