Endpoint Data Loss Prevention: Protecting data wherever it is stored

Endpoint control systems manage network clients, including laptops, workstations and peripheral devices, and control the operations they perform with data stored locally and on the network. These systems can also validate data access by removable media such as USB drives and define what each one is allowed to do.

Desktop encryption protects sensitive data-at-rest and data-in-motion so it can only be accessed by a predetermined user(s) who presents the required credentials. It can be applied at multiple layers of data storage depending on an organization’s security needs. Some of the widely used desktop encryption applications are file, full disk and email encryptions. Laptops and portable media devices can also be encrypted to prevent data loss.

The Protiva Smart Guardian offers Data Loss Prevention (DLP) solutions such as endpoint access control and desktop encryption that help reduce the risk of sensitive information being lost or stolen.
