Maximizing Data Security with Symantec DLP

Data Loss Prevention (DLP) systems are core for protecting organizations from data breaches and data exfiltration.

Despite this undisputable paradigm these systems face common challenges and can bring your DLP project to a premature end or leave it with poor configurations thus heavily contributing to your false sense of security.

Implementing strict data protection measures can sometimes interfere  with user productivity and business operations. For example, overly restrictive DLP policies can prevent employees from performing tasks and send controlled documents outside the organization via email. What if these documents need to be sent to their right recipients?

Our valuable technology advisor Anna Hristova, would like to take you for deep dive on “Balancing Security with Usability” and promote her understanding about how to continuously evaluate and update your strategies and technologies.

According to Anna if quarantine for outgoing emails is applied this can help to detect, intercept, and most importantly review potentially sensitive information before it leaves the company’s network. Here’s how:

Dynamic Message Modification: Utilizing RFC-5322 headers with Symantec DLP, users can create policies to modify messages, generating new headers for further processing. This capability ensures comprehensive protection, including encryption, quarantine, archiving, and more.

Streamlined Quarantine Workflow: Implementing a Modify SMTP Message response rule via the Enforce Server enables seamless quarantine requests, allowing organizations to detect and review potentially sensitive outgoing emails before they leave the network.

Empowering Responsible Teams: Symantec DLP facilitates notifications to designated teams and individuals, ensuring that sensitive information is handled appropriately. This proactive approach mitigates data risks and reinforces compliance measures.

Integration for Enhanced Efficiency: The synergy between Messaging Gateways and Symantec DLP, utilizing FlexResponse, delivers unparalleled benefits.

Remediation Actions: Seamlessly approve, reject, or define custom actions within Messaging Gateways, streamlining incident response.

Centralized hashtag#Incident Management: DLP administrators and incident officers gain a centralized view over incidents after they have been appropriately handled by data owners, reducing response times and resource expenditure.
This simple approach ensures organizations effectively mitigate risks without impairing business operations.
