Armorblox announced the addition of Advanced Data Loss Prevention to its
cloud-delivered email security platform. With this new service,
Armorblox becomes the first vendor to bring natural language
understanding (NLU) to prevent data loss in Microsoft Office 365,
Microsoft Exchange, and Google Workspace environments. When comparing
the new DLP service with NLU to legacy solutions based on static rules
and regexes, false positives are reduced by a factor of 10.
The
Armorblox Advanced Data Loss Prevention service offers a
first-of-its-kind, NLU-based analysis of email content and attachments
to detect and safeguard critical business workflows, including invoices,
payroll data, wire transfer requests, medical records, and legal
documents. Combining insights from business operations with content,
context, user, and behavior analytics, Armorblox helps to prevent
sensitive data from leaving the organization. Powered by NLU and
artificial intelligence (AI), Armorblox's enriched insights bring deeper
understanding and context to data, resulting in prevention capabilities
not possible through traditional approaches.
Armorblox
Advanced Data Loss Prevention protects organizations against accidental
and malicious leaks of sensitive data. With email-based phishing
attacks accounting for 90% of data breaches,
Armorblox Advanced Data Loss Prevention is best positioned to help
organizations limit the financial impact caused by targeted email
attacks, malicious insider actors, or socially engineered threats.
Importantly,
Armorblox's autonomous policy engine removes the need for manual
configuration and ongoing management of all email DLP security policies,
which are created and delivered out of the box. Using the NLU engine,
DLP policies are constantly updated based on global learnings, helping
organizations avoid any ongoing manual intervention to keep the policies
current and accurate.
"The
challenge with traditional DLP has been one of searching for a needle
in a haystack of false positives," said DJ Sampath, Co-founder and CEO
of Armorblox. "Our cloud-delivered Advanced Data Loss Prevention product
brings the power of NLU to the customizability of regexes and custom
identifiers. When combined with user identity and behavioral signals,
this results in 10x fewer false positives, in addition to better data
leak prevention."
Enterprises benefit from Armorblox Advanced Data Loss Prevention in a number of ways, including:
- Enhanced Detection: Armorblox
identifies unauthorized exchange of sensitive data in email
communications across different business operations, such as personally
identifiable information (PII) present within an email addressed to
unauthorized recipients in the medical records management process.
- Enablement of End Users: Armorblox
alerts and educates end users on potential data loss when confidential
information is accidentally sent. When an email contains sensitive data,
the sender receives an educational notification with the reasons email
delivery was blocked.
- Automated Incident Response: Armorblox
reduces response time for data leak alerts. For example, Armorblox
automatically quarantines all outbound emails of the original sender and
subsequent forwards that contain sensitive emails.
