Websense Cloud DLP: The first real data security for the cloud.
Websense is first to market with real
security for the cloud. Until recently, it was impossible to store data in the cloud as securely as data on your network. But now Websense® Cloud DLP™ technology changes all that. We're the only content security provider who protects data stored and shared in the cloud with these revolutionary new safeguards:
- Multiple SaaS and cloud application categories let you control which employees can access what data for which purposes
- Individual and user-group categories and reporting give you clear visibility into who sends and saves what types of application data and where it's used inside and outside the organisation
- By fingerprinting data in the cloud, Cloud DLP capability can enforce policies on data storage, usage and communication
How secure is your cloud service? Take advantage of the resource to make sure your Security-as-a-Service (SaaS, or cloud) gives you the protection you need:
Webcast: DLP for your SaaS Data
The problem: Data strays from the cloud. Countless companies store their most confidential data in salesforce.com, Workday, ADP, eGoogle and other web services. As long as the data stays in the cloud, it's fairly secure. But when an employee actually uses the confidential information, including downloading, copying or emailing it, security could go out the window.
The solution: Fingerprinting follows the data. Cloud DLP technology takes digital fingerprints of data in the cloud. Then, if someone tries to download, copy and paste, or email confidential data, Cloud DLP security recognises the fingerprinted data as sensitive and takes action to help prevent misuse.
How Cloud DLP technology works:
The Cloud DLP feature takes digital fingerprints of your data stored in the cloud.
You set controls for:
a. Policy enforcement
b. Types of alerts generated
c. How often to fingerprint
d. Types of actions to take
Cloud DLP security follows your fingerprinted data from the moment your employees access it, sending alerts or enforcing quarantines or blocks in cases of possible misuse.
Cloud DLP examples |
|||
| Action | Cloud DLP analysis | Results | |
| Gerry creates and downloads a report on SalesForce, then tries to send the report to his Gmail account to work on from home. | While reports from SalesForce.com can be downloaded, Cloud DLP security recognises that it's confidential information and shouldn't be emailed outside the company. | The email is prevented from being sent, and Gerry is automatically notified that such action is against business policy. | |
| Madeleine wants to use the data from SalesForce.com as an example in her presentation, so she copies and pastes the browser content into a document. She then tries to print the document using her home printer. | Cloud DLP security recognizes that the document Madeleine is trying to print includes confidential data and prevents it from being printed. | Madeleine is notified by IT that it's against business policy to print such information on non-company printers since it can easily get lost and pose a security risk. | |
Websense products are perfectly positioned for cloud security. The Websense® TRITON™ solution, with its cloud-enabling architecture, offers a variety of solution modules that will soon include Cloud DLP technology:
