Data Loss Prevention
In the Information Age, your organization’s data is one of its most prized
possessions. Your organization spends a lot of money making data available to
your employees, customers, and partners. Data is always on the move by traveling
over email and the Web. This increased access poses challenges for information
security professionals to figure out how to prevent the malicious or unintentional
loss of sensitive and proprietary information.
possessions. Your organization spends a lot of money making data available to
your employees, customers, and partners. Data is always on the move by traveling
over email and the Web. This increased access poses challenges for information
security professionals to figure out how to prevent the malicious or unintentional
loss of sensitive and proprietary information.
The IronPort Email Security appliance secures your data by providing an
integrated data loss prevention (DLP) scanning engine and DLP policy templates
from RSA Security Inc. to identify and protect sensitive data. The RSA Email
DLP feature protects your organization’s information and intellectual property
and enforces regulatory and organizational compliance by preventing users from
unintentionally emailing sensitive data. You define what kind of data is allowed
to be emailed from your employees and the actions that the appliance takes, such
as quarantining messages containing sensitive information and sending a
notification to a compliance officer.
