Digital Guardian – Data Protection Platform 7.6
Digital Guardian Data Protection Platform offers data protection independent of threat actors, data types, systems, applications, devices or points of access. This cloud-based model unifies endpoint detection, response and data loss prevention to protect against internal threats and accidental data theft, using the same agent. Endpoint detection and response protect against outsider threats and attackers masquerading with stolen credentials, preventing them from accessing or manipulating data. Digital Guardian offers three managed security programs: threat-aware endpoint DLP, endpoint detection and response and threat-aware network DLP.The
entirety of this platform focuses on content, context and user-based
classifications. Content-based analysis inspects files to identify, tag and
fingerprint sensitive data for the lowest possible false positive results. It
also identifies and tags structured and unstructured sensitive data to give
visibility into the data source. User-based classification lets users classify
sensitive data based on organization-specific business requirements.Extensive data, user and
system events are monitored and recorded for prompt and efficient detection of
anomalous behaviors, data manipulation and system modifications. These events
are displayed in the new and fully customizable elastic dashboard, the Analyst
Reporting Console (ARC). ARC is intuitive, with easy-to-follow drilldown
capabilities and filters. All collected data is aggregated in ARC and can be
exported as reports that reveal when and how classified data has egressed.Alarms
run based upon server-side rules and support graphically based investigations
for better visibility and response times. This approach uncovers powerful
information that shows what end-users are doing with data so that
administrators and investigative teams can spot and contain policy violations.
These investigations can also be used to leverage trend information for policy
and rule creation. Alerts can even be issued to the individuals responsible for
an unwanted event.
