Key Characteristics for Enterprise DLP
Identifying Sensitive Data at Rest and in Motion Across Various Channels
GTB Technologies® DLP solution offers deep visibility into sensitive data movement across communication and storage channels, including:
- Email: Observing and preventing sensitive data leakage
- Endpoints: Detecting and securing data on the user devices
- Networks: Stopping unauthorized transmissions
- Web Browsers: Observing cloud application session activity
- Cloud: Protecting data inside cloud storage and Software-as-a-Service applications
- GenAI: Monitoring the use of sensitive data with AI-centric tools
- Printers (on or off-premise)
- Attached Storage and USB’s
- Data in Motion to File-Shares
This cross-channel monitoring keeps sensitive data protected throughout its lifecycle.
Automated Preventative Controls
To prevent unauthorized exposure of data, the platform uses automated enforcement mechanisms. These include:
– Blocking: Blocks the data transmission if a policy violation is detected.
– Encryption: Automatically encrypts confidential information to maintain its privacy.
– Alerting: Immediately informs security teams when it identifies risks.
– User Justification: Asks the users why they need to share some kinds of their sensitive data, preventing possible leaking.
Automated Incident Response Workflow
GTB Technologies Data Loss Prevention (DLP) solution combines automated workflows for efficient incident response. Upon detection of a data security event, the platform can:
– Assess and categorize incidents based on risk severity.
– Initiate preset response mechanisms, including quarantine, escalation, or forensic investigation.
– Alert appropriate parties to enable timely mitigation.
This greatly reduces the investment of time and energy often required in manual incident management, enabling security teams to respond to threats more effectively.
Single Channel Data-Centric Content Inspection Logic
GTB Technologies uses advanced content inspection tools to track policy violations across individual communication channels. For instance, it can:
– Detect users sending corporate credit card information to personal emails.
– Discover unauthorized downloads or transfers of sensitive files.
– Review patterns in data to determine possible compliance violations.
Policy Templates for Regulated Data Types
To help organizations become compliant, GTB Technologies offers prebuilt policies for the most regulated data such as:
– Personal data or Personally Identifiable Information (PII) for 180 countries
– Protected Health Information (PHI) (e.g., HIPAA compliance)
– Payment or Financial Information (e.g., Payment Card Industry (PCI DSS) compliance)
These templates enable organizations to enforce industry-specific security requirements with little configuration.
Granular Incident Reporting
The platform provides comprehensive incident reports comprising:
– Incident details (who, what, when, and where data exposure occurred).
– Understanding user behavior to help determine if an action was deliberate and not simply an act of laziness.
– Details related to data classification to determine the sensitivity of exposed information.
– What remediation actions were taken and their effectiveness.
These reports track trends to improve policies and meet audit requirements for security teams.
Integration with SIEM Platforms for Incident Response
GTB Technologies DLP solution integrates easily with Security Incident and Event Management (SIEM)
– Centralizes threat intelligence through the correlation of DLP incidents with wider security events.
– Live alerts that warrant action for security operations teams.
– Triggered remediation workflows within your SIEM platform for response orchestration.
Optional Characteristics within the Data Security That Works® Platform
The Data Security That Works® platform from GTB Technologies® is a complete data protection solution created to help protect financial data, sensitive personal information, and other sensitive information across different digital environments. The latest security technologies like behavior analytics, risk scoring, and role-based access are integrated into its advanced data loss prevention (DLP) platform.
Here are a few of the platform’s key features:
User Entity and Behavior Analytics (UEBA) monitors and reports all input/output user activity. Using AI allows the system to identify the highest security risk users, detect potential threats generated by compromised accounts or malicious insiders trying to exfiltrate sensitive data.
Multichannel Correlation for the Inspection of User-Centric Content
We have sophisticated logic in our content inspection system that cross-correlates user actions across different communication portals. For instance, it might see that a user emailed corporate credit card numbers to their personal email and, at the same time, downloaded sensitive sales data from the corporate CRM system. By incorporating multiple perspectives into their monitoring approach, security professionals can concentrate on behavioral indiscretions, alerting them to possible data breaches rather than isolated events.
Person-Based Access Security (PBAS)
GTB Technologies’ platform applies dynamic risk scores to users based on their roles, behaviors, and access patterns. This functionality allows security teams to focus on actual investigations and response by determining which users are high-risk or if any anomalous action is being taken outside of regular usage. The system dynamically updates its risk scoring to reflect new threats that may not have been present when the initial risk assessment was conducted.
Templates for Nonregulated Data Types
The platform also provides predefined policy templates for unregulated but sensitive data types. These include:
– Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI)
– Intellectual Property (IP)
– Source Code
These policies provide organizations ways to protect proprietary data and trade secrets with minimal to no customization.
Data Classification Tags Application
The GTB Technologies platform facilitates applying and enforcing data classification tags to strengthen data governance. Also, it relates closely to data classification where organizations could classify data based on sensitivity levels (such as confidential, internal, public) with appropriate security controls placed on access or additional encryption. This helps provide protection of classified information from unauthorized access and leaks. Support is available for Titus Labs as well as MIP. Data Discovery and Classification is available for many cloud storage accounts as well local PCs and File-Shares.
Role-Based Access Controls (RBAC) for Incident Response and Review
RBAC simplifies incident response and security review. It helps make sure that only authorized personnel can access, analyze, and respond to security incidents. Organizations can implement granular permissions to maintain data integrity and allow for smooth threat mitigation.
Mobile Data Content Detection
As businesses become increasingly dependent on mobile devices, GTB Technologies’ platform has now extended its content detection capability to mobile endpoints. It does this by scanning and monitoring for sensitive data stored on mobile devices to prevent unauthorized access, sharing, or exfiltration. This capability plays a vital role in protecting corporate information within a mobile-first workplace even when the user is off-premise.
Conclusion
GTB Technologies® Data Security That Works® platform provides a powerful and intelligent framework to secure data far beyond traditional DLP. The platform connects into UEBA, utilizes multichannel correlation, and applies dynamic risk scoring to uncover and neutralize insider threats before damage occurs and sensitive data is compromised. Used with policy templates, classification enforcement, and mobile security features, the organization can secure data extensively without undermining its compliance or operational efficiency.
