McAfee DLP Endpoint

McAfee DLP Endpoint

Integrated and comprehensive endpoint data protection

Next Steps:

Overview

McAfee DLP Endpoint delivers unrivaled protection against theft and accidental disclosure of confidential data. This protection works across networks, through applications, and through removable storage devices.

Data transfer methodology — DLP Endpoint controls how you transfer data over the network, use it in applications, and copy it to removable storage devices.

Data protection regardless of format — Protect data in any format, even if it’s modified, copied, pasted, compressed, or encrypted.

Controlling data sent to removable storage — Prevent data from being written to USB drives, iPods, and other removable storage devices, and stop data loss from endpoints by monitoring and preventing risky user behavior.

Streamlined data encryption — When you combine DLP Endpoint with Endpoint Encryption, the data encryption is content-aware which makes the encryption process more efficient.

Centralized management console — Managing Host Data Loss Prevention allows you to define and manage data protection policies, deploy and update agents, monitor real-time events, and generate reports to meet compliance requirements, all from the centralized McAfee ePolicy Orchestrator (ePO) management console.

Features & Benefits

Protect your enterprise from the risks of data loss

Help protect your business against the financial loss, brand damage, and noncompliance penalties that come with accidental disclosure or data theft by insiders and hackers.

Safeguard all layers of your infrastructure

Ensure that your confidential information is protected throughout your network — on servers, in databases, and across endpoints.

Prove compliance with less effort

Generate detailed reports that show auditors, board members, and other stakeholders full compliance with internal and regulatory privacy requirements.

Control data transfer

Monitor and control the transfer of sensitive information to removable storage devices, via email and instant messaging (IM), and through other communication channels — even when data is disguised.

Simplify security management

Streamline management of your entire security risk management portfolio, including McAfee DLP Endpoint, via the centralized McAfee ePolicy Orchestrator (ePO) 4.5 console.

Take data inventory

Scan endpoints and discover what data resides on them. Use this information to mitigate risk, build an understanding of how your data is used, or simply compile and inventory data for use in cases such as legal discovery.
