Digital Guardian
Safeguarding Sensitive Data from Every Threat

In light of the recent coronavirus pandemic, many centralized companies have effectively transformed into distributed workforces. And with strict lockdown measures in place, work from home has become the norm. During these challenging times, security professionals are struggling to contain sensitive data from being stolen by an outside cyber attacker or potentially risky insider behaviour that isn’t being monitored. Coming to their rescue is Digital Guardian, a data loss prevention software company that stops malicious actions by users and malware. “Our solutions empower organizations to take control of their data egress and safeguard it from being lost or stolen,” states Tsuyoshi Yamanishi, Managing Director, APAC, Digital Guardian. For over 15 years, Digital Guardian has enabled data-rich organizations to protect their most valuable assets with a choice of SaaS or fully managed deployment.

Digital Guardian’s offering is unique in its ability to support both a use case-based approach (known data types or user groups) and a data risk discovery approach (identifying unknown use cases). In addition, Digital Guardian enables companies to implement data protection solutions without slowing the pace of their business, which is especially difficult during a time when most of the workforce is remote. Offering both data loss prevention (DLP) and managed detection and response (MDR), Digital Guardian delivers “no-compromise data protection.” Digital Guardian’s Endpoint DLP solution offers the industry’s broadest operating environment coverage, supporting Windows, Linux, macOS, and VDIs, and performs across the corporate network, traditional endpoints, and cloud applications.
Meanwhile, Digital Guardian’s MDR solution protects sensitive data regardless of the attack vector and provides a 24/7 managed service by security experts for detecting malicious activity and remediating cyber breaches. This also includes Threat Hunting-as-a-Service to identify new nefarious/risky activity.

For managing data egress, Digital Guardian’s Network DLP solution reduces the risks of data loss by monitoring and controlling the flow of sensitive information via the network, email, or web. Its pre-configured policies for PII, PHI, and PCI, along with the flexibility to create customized policies, ensure businesses can protect what matters the most to them, and support compliance needs. Further, Digital Guardian’s Cloud Data Protection solution integrates with leading cloud storage providers such as Box, OneDrive, and Citrix to extend DLP policies to the cloud. The solution accurately discovers sensitive data in cloud storage and continuously audits files that have been uploaded.

Illustrating the capabilities of Digital Guardian, Yamanishi mentions the case of a customer—one of the largest companies dedicated to industrial automation—that was able to gain intellectual property (IP) visibility and control without impacting endpoint performance. The first priority was to protect the customer’s engineering resources, software source code, design documents, and trade secrets. While protecting the IP was critical, the solution needed to be non-invasive as changes to workflow would negatively affect employee productivity and adoption. Digital Guardian provided the client with the best mix of visibility to IP, control over information movement, and low impact on the endpoints and users. The DLP solution was deployed across 5,000 endpoints, and Digital Guardian’s managed services provided the support desired by the customer without the overhead of additional IT staff.

Digital Guardian’s business advantage lies in consolidating security capabilities in a single data protection platform. The company’s DLP solutions for network, endpoint, and cloud data loss prevention leverage the same management console, endpoint agent, and network sensor, unlike other solutions on the market. And as the threats challenging cybersecurity continue to grow at an accelerated rate, Digital Guardian remains committed to delivering solutions that facilitate the discovery and protection of sensitive data throughout its lifecycle across the enterprise.
