As cybercrime evolves, attacks, data breaches, and leaks are becoming increasingly sophisticated and more prevalent.
At Brigantia, our vendors continuously find ways to combat these threats. One such vendor is Next DLP, which is pushing the boundaries of data security with its new Secure Data Flow technology.
Now integrated into Next DLP’s Reveal Platform, this new functionality represents a significant step forward in protecting organisations from insider threats and data loss and complements Next DLP’s existing product suite.
About Next DLP
Next DLP is a leading provider of insider risk and data protection solutions, trusted by organisations worldwide, from Fortune 100 companies to fast-growing healthcare and technology firms.
The Reveal Platform
Let’s first take a quick recap of Next DLP’s Reveal Platform. The platform is designed to uncover risks, prevent data loss, educate employees, and meet security, compliance, and regulatory requirements, including advanced features such as:
Machine learning on the endpoint
The platform detects and highlights anomalies directly on the endpoint using behavioural analysis, model correlation, and programmable models. This combination of machine learning and irregularity detection provides users with actionable insights.
Incident-based training
Instead of traditional lengthy training sessions, Next offers on-the-spot training when risks arise. Users are guided in real-time, ensuring they can complete tasks securely by following approved methods.
Adaptive controls
Beyond simple blocking, Next offers a range of responses, including recording, alerting, blocking actions, isolating machines, and even removing them from the network if necessary.
The Reveal Platform is boosted by its new feature, Secure Data Flow. Read on to learn what the functionality offers businesses.
Secure Data Flow: Providing a new layer of security for SaaS applications
SaaS (Software as a Service) applications have grown in popularity over the years and are now central to business operations. They provide teams with effective tools to complete business tasks, manage projects, and manage company-wide communications.
As a result, we’re now heavily reliant on SaaS applications like Salesforce, SAP, Workday, and GitHub. Whilst these applications are benefit-rich and boost business productivity, they store large amounts of sensitive data, making them prime targets for accidental leaks and intentional data theft.
Understanding the challenges of securing these environments, Next DLP has developed Secure Data Flow to monitor data's origin, movement, and modification across these applications.
Traditional DLP solutions have limitations, including pattern matching, keywords, and user-applied labels, which can only protect a limited range of data types, leaving gaps in an organisation’s security.
That’s where Secure Data Flow addresses gaps by focusing on the origin of data and tracking it as it moves within and beyond a company’s network. This approach prevents data misuse and protects sensitive business information from data leaks and theft, regardless of it is stored.
How does Secure Data Flow enhance data protection?
Secure Data Flow’s real-time monitoring of data across approved and unapproved channels transforms how businesses approach data protection security, especially when managing existing applications and onboarding new ones.
By complementing traditional content and sensitivity classification methods with origin-based data identification, it offers a stronger and more reliable way to prevent data theft and misuse.
This is particularly important for organisations that manage sensitive information, such as intellectual property or customer data, within their SaaS applications.
Let’s look closer at the benefits of Secure Data Flow.
Why do businesses need Secure Data Flow?
The key benefits of Secure Data Flow for organisations are:
- Comprehensive data tracking: Secure Data Flow ensures that sensitive information stored in SaaS applications like Salesforce, Workday, SAP, and GitHub is continuously monitored and protected from potential threats.
- Enhanced data protection: Focusing on data origin and leveraging sensitive data identification, Secure Data Flow provides an additional layer of security, safeguarding a company’s most valuable assets from accidental loss and malicious theft.
- Insightful investigations: Security teams investigating potential data breaches gain invaluable insights into data origin, movement, and manipulation. This context allows them to more accurately identify, investigate, and report on security incidents, ensuring that no threat goes unnoticed.
The future of Data Loss Prevention
Next DLP's Secure Data Flow marks a significant advancement in data protection. As organisations increasingly rely on SaaS applications, the ability to continuously monitor and protect sensitive data at every stage of its lifecycle is crucial.
Secure Data Flow gives security teams the tools to do just that, providing a multi-layered solution that addresses the inadvertent and malicious threats businesses face today.
No matter the shape, size, or industry, all organisations are vulnerable to cybercrime and data leaks, so every business must take proactive measures to protect themselves.
