We answer your questions about data loss prevention

By Ana Perez August 25, 2022

You may have heard about data loss prevention, but do you know what it really entails? Do  you know how you can protect your company against security breaches? And how can you  make sure your solution is right for your business? Our experts answer all your questions  about DLP.

Wait, what does ‘data loss’ mean?

Data loss is a type of security violations in which a malicious party exploits  vulnerabilities in IT systems and devices to access sensitive data. This data can then be  exploited by these criminals for financial gain.

According to a 2022 report by IBM, the average cost of a data breach is 4.35 million USD – over 3.5 million pounds! So protecting yourself against data breaches can make or break  your business. And that’s not all – a data breach can also affect your future business by  damaging your clients’ trust, causing them to take their business elsewhere and ruining your  reputation in the process.

So what can I do about it?

Data Loss Prevention software (DLP) is the key to detecting potential data breaches and  blocking them before important details leak or get lost and put your business at risk. DLP works by  monitoring and blocking sensitive data before it can fall into the wrong hands.

There are many DLP solutions available out there, but we think Endpoint Protector by CoSoSys has the perfect  balance of iron-clad device security and intuitive interfaces – this means your business is safe without compromising on the great end user experience that we’ve all come to expect  from macOS. 

Why do you recommend CoSoSys Endpoint Protector?

CoSoSys Endpoint Protector is an industry-leading, cross-platform DLP that’s perfect for keeping your  company’s sensitive data safe. As an all-in-one solution, it covers everything you need to keep your assets protected, from external media encryption and control to content-aware  scanning and inspection of sensitive data.

The features of CoSoSys Endpoint Protector include Device Control, used to lock down, monitor and manage your devices. Another feature is Content Aware Protection – meaning you can monitor,  control and block file transfers as they’re happening. CoSoSys Endpoint Protector also offers Enforced  Encryption, so you can encrypt, manage and secure USB storage devices by safeguarding  data in transit. It is password-based, easy to use and very efficient. Another aspect we  wanted to mention is eDiscovery, which lets you encrypt and delete sensitive data and  conduct context inspection through manual or automatic scans.

As you know, here at Jigsaw24 we’re big fans of Mac – and CoSoSys Endpoint Protector is one of the few DLP solutions that can guarantee parity across macOS, Windows and even Linux, so you know that  your company will stay safe no matter what your IT estate looks like.
