    the agent atleast should be communicating to the Detection server once in a while in that way the incidents are reported.

    If the agent machine is not commuicating with the server PGP or DLP server then its hard to prevent.

    subhani,

     

    a couple of options here come to mind they all have been covered here before...

    DLP

    Placec endpoint server in DMZ but use different key for these laptops.

    Possibly look @ endpoint server for these users in the cloud

    Possibly move endpoint and enforce to cloud

    setup vpn from users house to office

     

    PGP

    force a vpn connection every 5 days for the endpoint to talk with the Universal server

    Consider Just PGP desktop delpoyment with out the universal server at least you know it is encrypted.

    setup vpn from users house to office

    If you install DLP agent on his laptop, and, this DLP agent got your policy already, then, it will work even the laptop is not connected to your enterprise network.

    Subhani,

     

    did you get the answer you needed. Yang has a valid point also, you also need to remeber that if you change the policy and the laptop doesnt connect back to the netowrk it will not get the policy  update.
