‘Discovering’ Critical Data Stored On The Endpoint

Clearswift’s Endpoint DLP (Data Loss Prevention) solution leverages the same Deep Content Inspection Engine (DCI) which is used in its core SECURE Gateway products. The DCI can be used to scan saved files (referred to as data at rest (DAR)) on various endpoints, to identify potential data breach risks or non-compliance with company policy. For example, there may be spreadsheets containing PCI or PII data, or documents containing confidential company Intellectual Property that needs to be stored in a specific location or secured in a certain way. Once critical information is ‘discovered’, there are options as to what can be done next.
