Data Loss Prevention (DLP)

CTOs spend millions of dollars each year investing in business systems and processes to make information available to authorized employees/partners. While these investments enable growth, they also pose significant risks to data security and, by association, regulatory compliance, corporate governance, brand and reputation

Websense Data Security Suite accurately prevents data leakage and manages compliance and risk by discovering where data is located, monitoring use, and protecting data on the network and at the endpoint.  It is the only data loss prevention (DLP) solution that provides content, context, and destination awareness, allowing administrators to manage who can send what information, where, and how.

Key Features

Websense Data Security Suite includes four, fully integrated data loss prevention modules:

  • Data Discover - Discovers & classifies data throughout the enterprise
  • Data Monitor - Monitors who is using what data, and how
  • Data Protect - Protects with policy-based controls
  • Data Endpoint -extends security to endpoint with built-in reporting
