Endpoint Data Loss Prevention

In any enterprise environment, the unmonitored flow of sensitive data poses a serious threat to information security and regulatory compliance. Unintentional sharing, malicious exfiltration, or exposure of confidential files through endpoints can result in data breaches, financial losses, and reputational damage.

ManageEngine Endpoint Central addresses this challenge with its Endpoint DLP module, offering a unified, policy-driven approach to detect, monitor, and prevent data leakage across all managed endpoints.Endpoint DLP provides complete visibility into sensitive data at rest, in motion, and in use. IT administrators can define and enforce granular DLP policies that control how sensitive data is accessed, stored, and shared across devices, applications, and the web. This ensures data security is upheld without hindering employee productivity.

To streamline compliance efforts, Endpoint DLP includes pre-defined policy templates aligned with major regulatory standards such as HIPAA, GDPR, PCI-DSS, and more. These templates help organizations quickly implement controls that meet industry-specific data protection requirements, reducing the burden on IT teams while ensuring regulatory adherence.

By proactively preventing unauthorized transfers, flagging policy violations, and restricting risky operations, Endpoint DLP helps organizations minimize insider threats, meet compliance requirements, and significantly reduce their overall data exposure.

What does Endpoint Central’s Endpoint DLP offer?

• Sensitive Data Discovery & Classification: Automatically scan and categorize data stored across endpoints using advanced content inspection and contextual analysis. Identify unstructured data, determine its sensitivity level, ensuring visibility and control over critical business information.
• Pre-defined Compliance Templates: Simplify compliance with regulations like GDPR, HIPAA, PCI-DSS, and more using built-in policy templates. These templates help enforce data protection rules specific to regulatory standards, streamlining policy setup and ensuring consistent compliance across endpoints.
• Data Classification Based on Custom Criteria: Use advanced custom rules with RegEx, keywords, document matching, and file extensions to accurately identify and protect organization-specific sensitive data.
• Centralized Policy Management: Create, deploy, and manage DLP policies from a unified console. Centralized management ensures consistent enforcement across the organization, simplifies policy updates, and allows security teams to maintain full control over data protection strategies.
• Data Containerization: Endpoint Central allows for the encapsulation of sensitive data within secure containers on endpoint devices. By classifying trusted applications as enterprise-friendly, data originating from them is automatically tagged as sensitive and remains protected, even on unmanaged devices.
• Email and Web Upload Protection: Endpoint Central monitors and controls the flow of sensitive data through email clients and web browsers. It ensures that emails containing sensitive content or attachments are only sent to permitted domains and prevents unauthorized uploads to web applications and third-party cloud storage services.
• Prevent Unauthorized Hard Copies: The solution restricts the printing of sensitive data by unauthorized users or devices. Administrators can set granular print control rules, log all print activities, and prevent data leaks through physical copies.
• Removable Storage Device Control: Endpoint Central allows administrators to monitor and control the use of USB drives and other external storage devices. It provides options to enforce read-only access, approve specific devices, and track all file transfers to prevent data exfiltration through removable media.
• Real-time Alerts & Notifications: Trigger instant alerts specifically for policy overrides and false positives. These notifications provide visibility into user-justified exceptions or potential misclassifications, allowing IT teams to review and respond swiftly.
• Comprehensive Reports & Audit Logs: Gain actionable insights through detailed logs and reports on user actions, file movements, policy breaches, and more. These records support compliance audits and help uncover potential data security gaps.
