Today we are proud to announce general availability of our patented cloud-based endpoint data loss prevention (DLP) solution. The release of endpoint DLP expands the already comprehensive Netskope DLP platform and represents a major milestone in data protection, as it enables customers to protect data anywhere, across their hybrid enterprise ecosystem and in the cloud. Let’s look at why this is so important.
Securing hybrid work with endpoint DLP
In the modern world, the need for a comprehensive, advanced data protection solution is greater than ever. In fact, the emergence of hybrid work—where employees have the flexibility to work freely between corporate offices, branches, at home, or on the road—has rapidly changed the way business is done. In this evolving approach to how we all work, the adoption of cloud services and the commoditization of portable computing devices has been instrumental to keeping business users connected everywhere they are. Data has become more available and accessible from locations beyond the physical boundaries of the enterprise, but the integrity, confidentiality, and overall security of sensitive information is more at risk than ever, in terms of excessive exposure and loss outside the control of corporate IT.
People are the weakest link when it comes to data protection. Specifically, employees are still a large cause of breaches by inadvertent, as well as intentional, malicious behaviors. For example, the 2022 Verizon Data Breach Investigations Report notes that 82% of breaches this year involved the human element. The fact that most business employees carry at least one corporate device, which may or not be connected to the corporate network, results in a big potential blind spot for securing the sensitive data that is downloaded, created, and stored on these endpoints. For example, a USB transfer of confidential data to removable storage is a data loss vehicle that must be controlled with the same consistent protection as any other data loss channels. That’s why Netskope decided to extend its DLP solution to endpoints, to cover any possible data exfiltration channel for customers’ sensitive data.
What sets Netskope DLP apart
This announcement uniquely positions Netskope as a comprehensive cloud-delivered DLP solution and a strong alternative to complex legacy DLP platforms.
