DLP BackgroundDLP BackgroundDefinition of Data Loss Prevention

Products that, based on central policies, identify, monitor, and protect data at rest, in motion, and in use, through deep content analysis.

Instant messaging (Yahoo Instant Messaging, Windows Live) P2P file sharing (e.g. LimeWire case as reported by LA Times) Media streaming Web mail (Yahoo mail, Gmail, Hotmail) USB storage devices (ZDNet story from UK) Removable drives Devices connected through external ports (Firewire, serial, parallel) FTP server Printouts

How data are flagged and identified Initial predefined policies

Social security numbers Prescribed in HIPAA, SOX, GLBA, etc. (Bank account numbers, Credit card

numbers) Customized categories based on client needs

Data Discovery Looks into the content and not just the file type Examine context considerations (factor in parent directories, user group

matching) Structured data matching (SSN, credit card numbers, etc) Unstructured data matching (diagrams, source codes, media files)

Fingerprint the data by using one way hash and saved in the database Information can then be used to identify confidential data elsewhere

DLP BackgroundDLP Background

Three different levels of DLP solution

Data in Motion Data which uses HTTP,

FTP, IM, P2P and SMTP protocols are mirrored in the DLP server for inspection where visibility is enhanced

Data at Rest Data in file servers,

databases, hosts computers set for file sharing, etc.

Data at End Points Data which sits on end

user hosts (workstations and notebooks)

DLP BackgroundDLP Background

Technical Feature Considerations Deep content analysis, monitoring and prevention

Identification and blocking capability Centralized Management

Central policy setting, dashboard features Broad content management across platforms and ease of Integration

Review of information infrastructure including software for requirement and compatibility issues

Automated remediation Transfer confidential files, LDAP lookup, secure purging of sensitive data

Business Environment Considerations Matching with Business Need

Matches defined business need over feature allure Market Presence

Major presence in the market, financial industry experience Staffing Needs

Staffing considerations to handle additional responsibilities
