Data Leakage

Critical business data, intellectual property and private information are spread throughout the organization on servers and desktops. Once the data is transmitted in the network, it is at a high risk of being misused or abused, resulting in reputation damage, competitive compromise, business damage or, penalties for non-compliance with various governmental rules and regulations.

M86 Security's Web and email gateway security solutions prevent data leakage across the enterprise. Inspection of Web and email communication and deep analysis of various content types enable the detection and prevention of confidential data from intentionally or unintentionally leaving the network. Securing endpoint connections and devices prevents the physical removal of data from the network. Mobile user Web and email access are monitored and controlled as if they were "in house."

One of the main risks for companies for not complying with various applicable rules and regulations is the intentional (data theft) or unintentional (data leakage) loss of their confidential data such as customer information, financial records, credit card numbers, patient data, and employee information. These kinds of data breaches can lead to severe repercussions for both the organizations themselves as well as for their executive management.

To protect organizations, M86 Security's Data Leakage Prevention (DLP) solutions enable enterprises to configure policies specifically to address compliance directives and regulations, such as PCI, HIPAA, GLBA, SOX, CISP, FISMA, and governmental regulations. You can read more on how M86 Security addresses compliance issues here. M86 Security's DLP solutions also identify content types by true content payload, not just by file extensions. This can prevent selected file types from leaking out or being downloaded. Ensuring flexibility within the enterprise, M86 DLP solutions also enable organizations to setup up targeted data leakage policies, using granular rules per user and per user-groups.

Mobile DLP

Wireless technologies and mobile devices present unique data leakage challenges, with many employees working in remote offices, at home or on the road. In schools, Internet-assisted learning extends beyond the classroom and into the student's home. However, most IT staffs and administrators don't have a comprehensive or cost effective solution to enforce acceptable use policies for mobile users.

M86 Security provides a software application that works in conjunction with its Web filter appliance. The M86 Mobile Client is simple to deploy, manage and maintain. It provides complete endpoint security for mobile workstations and remote users anytime, anywhere, regardless of their Internet connection.

Data That Walks Out the Door

A device half the size of one's thumb can effectively hold thousands of documents, photos, plans, designs, file records, and much more — and that's just what could be taken off the network; even more frightening is what these devices can put on the network, in the form of viruses, harvesting and "backdoor" programs, and inappropriate content, to name a few.

M86 Endpoint Security was designed specifically as a connection controller to protect the network from "low-tech" threats such as portable media drives and local removable drives. It provides administrators with complete visibility of all successful and unsuccessful device and wireless connections and data transfer attempts for reliable endpoint security.
