Code42 introduced the Code42 Next-Gen
Data Loss Protection (Code42 Next-Gen DLP) solution. Designed to help
resource- and budget-constrained security and IT teams, the solution
detects insider threat, helps satisfy regulatory compliance requirements
and dramatically speeds incident response. With the introduction, the
company is rewriting the paradigm for legacy data loss prevention (DLP) -
shifting the focus from prevention to protection. Unlike traditional
DLP, Code42 Next-Gen DLP is a cloud-native solution that frees security
teams to safeguard data without complex policy management, lengthy
deployments or hindrances to user productivity and collaboration.
"Customers
consistently tell us that their legacy DLP is painful to use - it is
expensive, policy-laden, and difficult to deploy and manage," said Joe
Payne, Code42's president and CEO. "Code42 is offering a simpler,
quicker way for organizations to protect endpoint and cloud data from
loss, leak and theft while maintaining an open and collaborative culture
for employees."
According to the 2018 Insider Threat Report by
Cybersecurity Insiders, 90 percent of cybersecurity professionals feel
vulnerable to insider threat. Recent research from McKinsey reinforces
the pervasive nature of insider threat. McKinsey's Insider threat: The human element of cyberrisk reports
that 50 percent of breaches between 2012-2017 involved insiders. The
increasing risks associated with insider threat are compounded by the
fact that more companies are reporting a lack of skilled in-house staff
to deal with security issues.
Payne
added, "Organizations need to rethink legacy DLP - and adopt a
next-generation alternative that doesn't require policies, doesn't block
users from being productive and can track cloud data."
Deploying in days instead of months, Code42 Next-Gen DLP delivers the following capabilities through a single, centralized view:
- Collection:
Automatically collects and stores every version of every file across
all endpoints, and indexes all file activity across endpoints and cloud.
- Monitoring:
Helps identify file exfiltration, providing visibility into files being
moved by users to external hard drives or shared via cloud services,
including Microsoft OneDrive and Google Drive.
- Investigation:
Helps quickly triage and prioritize data threats by searching file
activity across all endpoints and cloud services in seconds, even when
endpoints are offline; and rapidly retrieves actual files - one file,
multiple files or all files on a device - to determine the sensitivity
of data at risk.
- Preservation:
Allows configuration to retain files for any number of employees, for
as long as the files are needed to satisfy data retention requirements
related to compliance or litigation.
- Recovery:
Enables rapid retrieval of one file, multiple files or all files on a
device even when the device is offline, or in the event files are
deleted, corrupted or ransomed.
Code42
Next-Gen DLP is built from a combination of products that are part of
the company's award-winning data security portfolio, including Code42 Forensic File Search, File Exfiltration Detection, Legal Hold and Backup + Restore. Code42's insider monitoring capabilities helped one customer save $9 million dollars in one lawsuit and helped another customer detect 90 gigabytes of sales data leaving its network via an external drive.
