NextLabs Releases New Version of Identity-Aware Data Protection Product

NextLabs, Inc. has reportedly released Enterprise DLP 4.5, the latest version of its identity-aware data protection product. NextLabs provides policy-driven information risk management software for large enterprises.

 

Integration between identity and access management, information rights management, and data loss prevention is required to effectively protect data on the move and also to address compliance, confidentiality, and data loss. Enterprise DLP uses identity, user context and content detection together to accurately identify, discover, detect, and protect data at risk.

 

Identity-aware DLP can enforce policy based on the user roles, partner relationships, and the data being accessed, used, or shared. This identity-aware approach combined with content and user context provides more accurate results, reduces false positives, and also lowers incident managements.

 

Enterprise DLP 4.5 enforces XACML-based policy for comprehensive data loss prevention to help companies discover, monitor, protect, and manage sensitive data. It is the host-based approach of Enterprise DLP 4.5 that protects data on the move for insiders, outsiders, online, offline and also across companies.

 

The company brings together data loss prevention, application and device control, unified communications control, and information rights management applications, which are centrally managed by one policy system. This integrated product enables companies to address more data protection use cases and eliminate multiple security technology silos. In addition, Enterprise DLP 4.5 consists of features that extend policy enforcement across network protocols like FTP, SFTP, FTPS, SMTP, HTTP, HTTPS, BitTorrent (News - Alert), Gnutella, IMAP and Jabber.

 

Enterprise DLP 4.5 is integrated fully with the NextLabs 4.5 Product Suite and will be available this month. The product contains advanced Information Rights Management functionality that controls screen capture, offline access lease, and document watermarking. In addition, standard rights like access control, printing, clipboard operations and metadata cleansing are also supported.

 

According to Andy Han, vice president and general manager of NextLabs, Enterprise DLP 4.5 is the result of their collaboration with companies in aerospace and defense, manufacturing, and high technology industries working to mitigate information risk associated with compliance and intellectual property protection. Since these companies need solutions that work in their collaborative, mobile, and distributed work environments, they invest in technology based on standards like XACML that can integrate with existing systems and also interoperate in the future.
