Go beyond traditional security by identifying and safeguarding sensitive data based on its actual content—not just location or file type. Whether it's PII, ePHI, or financial records, apply precise content-aware data loss prevention (DLP) at every stage of the data's lifecycle.
Because, without knowing what the content is—or how critical it is—you're either under-protecting sensitive data or over-blocking productivity.
Content-aware DLP helps you identify sensitive data across various data repositories to ensure nothing slips through unprotected.
Content-aware policies adapt to data type and context, reducing false positives and avoiding unnecessary disruptions.
Content-aware DLP gives you complete control over sensitive data to stay compliant with regulations like HIPAA, GDPR, CCPA, etc.
Minor security lapses. Major repercussions.

Content-aware protection is a security approach that goes beyond just monitoring file names, types, or locations. It analyzes the actual content within files—such as personal data, financial information, or health records—to detect, classify, and secure sensitive information based on what it truly contains.
Traditional security tools may overlook sensitive data if they only rely on file attributes or locations. Content-aware protection ensures that sensitive data is found and protected in a more nuanced manner, regardless of where it resides.
Content-aware protection can be implemented in two broad phases:
DataSecurity Plus enables content-aware protection through intelligent data discovery, classification, and real-time monitoring. It scans files in your enterprise storage environment to identify sensitive information based on pre-configured and customized policies. Further, it can help secure discovered data by protecting it from theft, leakage, and misuse. Learn more about its features here.
