Data leaks can be a disaster for any company – potentially exposing intellectual property to competitors or private data of employees, partners and customers, which could result in damage to brand reputation or even financial liability. And yet, keeping tabs on data grows only more complex with the distributed workforce and rapid transitions to the cloud.
Products in this category help prevent data from unauthorized exit from the network or protect data on the endpoint, and often enable policy-driven strategies like scanning of all data and tracking of peripherals.
