Compare Clearswift Endpoint Data Loss Prevention vs. Symantec Data Loss Prevention

Clearswift's Endpoint Data Loss Protection (DLP) solution serves as an essential component of your IT security framework, enabling organizations to identify, examine, and safeguard vital data on their endpoints. This comprehensive solution features context-aware Data in Use (DIU) policies that regulate which devices can access the corporate network and what types of information may be transmitted. Additionally, it performs scheduled Data at Rest (DAR) scans on file systems to monitor and manage critical data stored on both network servers and cloud environments. Operating with a lightweight agent, Clearswift Endpoint DLP silently implements your security and compliance measures, ensuring protection even when users are offline. The adaptable and context-sensitive DIU policies empower organizations to establish rules that can either block the copying of sensitive documents to portable devices, restrict sharing on the network, or prevent uploads to the cloud, or alternatively, automatically encrypt these files prior to any transfer. By integrating these features, Clearswift Endpoint DLP not only enhances data security but also streamlines compliance processes within the organization.

DLP offers comprehensive oversight and management of your information, no matter where it resides or how it is transmitted, effectively thwarting insiders from stealing sensitive information like customer data and product specifications. It continuously supervises for breaches of policy and suspicious user activities at various control points. By employing real-time blocking, quarantining, and alerts, it actively discourages end users from leaking data. In the event of a significant data loss, it enables prompt and effective responses through automated incident remediation processes and one-click SmartResponses. This system also grants you the ability to adjust policies to strike a balance between security measures and user productivity. Furthermore, it enhances visibility and control over data both at rest and in use within cloud applications, aiding in the identification of Shadow Data. You can also utilize your existing DLP policies and workflows to apply precisely tailored rules and business logic across cloud platforms such as Office 365, G Suite, Box, and Dropbox, among others. By implementing these strategies, organizations can create a secure environment that fosters both compliance and innovation.
