AUTOMATIC REMEDIATION FOR SENSITIVE DATA IDENTIFIED BY DLP INSPECTIONS

Data Loss Prevention (DLP) solutions find files and documents that do not conform to the appropriate use requirements of data protection policy. Content-aware capabilities offer precise inspections to locate data in violation and identify information that must be protected. The SecureZIP for DLP encryption process guarantees protection of these sensitive files while at rest and ensures unprotected content is no longer exposed. Once DLP software alerts a file at risk, SecureZIP for DLP can encrypt the file and only after encryption, the unprotected file will be replaced with a SecureZIP file. The original file will be removed to ensure that unprotected content is no longer exposed.

• Streamlined process Utilizing data encryption as a means to remediate files found through DLP inspection will not stop or break the information flow— productivity disruptions common with blocking, quarantining and deleting.
• Flexible solution SecureZIP for DLP can be used with user remediation, administrator remediation and automated remediation methods to support encryption as a response to DLP inspection alerts.
• Connect with most DLP solutions SecureZIP for DLP integrates directly into the Symantec™ Data Loss Prevention server product and automatically encrypts sensitive data discovered by the DLP inspection process. A documented API enables all DLP vendors to call SecureZIP for DLP encryption in response to an alert or notification.
• Interoperable across all major computing platforms Interoperable data encryption is a requirement today to ensure that data is protected wherever it is, wherever it goes and however it gets there. The most interoperable data encryption solution available is the PKWARE Solution. SecureZIP for DLP provides the only cross-platform strong data encryption solution that works natively from desktops to mainframes.
• Encrypts files with passphrases, PKI, or both Data encryption relies on encryption keys to lock and unlock access to encrypted files. SecureZIP for DLP supports using either passwords or digital certificates or both in combination at the same time.
• Maintains control of data PKWARE’s unique Contingency Key feature ensures recoverability of all encrypted data.
