4 4Info-Tech Research Group Vendor Landscape: Data Loss Prevention (DLP) Market overview Data loss prevention (DLP) entered the security scene in the mid-2000s as the next effective solution to enterprise security concerns. Originally, all of the DLP providers on the market were startups specializing in the area. Primary usage of DLP was centered around meeting compliance and regulatory requirements. The existing DLP technologies were able to demonstrate data protection. By 2010 unstructured data became more important and more numerous than structured data. DLP had grown in protective capabilities and was now being used to protect intellectual property. Advanced data fingerprinting and detection methods enabled organizations to secure their sensitive and valuable data. DLP functionality has progressively branched out to other security products such as email and web security gateways. The DLP segment is growing as the market focus shifts to securing data rather than detecting adversaries. Advanced, proactive, protection-based models with content and context awareness will grow even more with DLP capabilities. Advanced threat vectors, both from external and insider threats, are pushing for advanced detection methods like behavioral analysis with threat intelligence support. A growing demand for intelligent business integration will push the incorporation of more contextual information into DLP decision making to reduce false positives and reduce administrative workloads. Redactive capabilities will protect data while allowing business continuity. Predictive detection models will evolve in order to identify the next possible data breach. The DLP market will continue to divide into two main segments: simple dedicated DLP solutions for less demanding security organizations and advanced add-on functionality to comprehensive security operations for high demand organizations. How it got here Where it’s going As the market evolves, capabilities that were once cutting edge become default and new functionality becomes differentiating. Unstructured data fingerprinting has become a Table Stakes capability and should no longer be used to differentiate solutions. Instead focus on advanced environment support and multiple enforcement actions to get the best fit for your requirements.

5 5Info-Tech Research Group Vendor Landscape: Data Loss Prevention (DLP) DLP vendor selection / knock-out criteria: market share, mind share, and platform coverage Absolute Software. Entered the DLP market with the acquisition of the specialist DLP vendor, Palisade Systems. CA Technologies. The largest independent software vendor in the ITOM market offers a DLP solution. Clearswift. The recent release of the CIP product is the capstone on historically strong DLP functions and offerings. Code Green Networks. A smaller, dedicated DLP vendor, but with a feature-strong product offering. Fidelis Cybersecurity Solutions. An acquired subsidiary of General Dynamics Advanced Information Systems. McAfee. The second largest security software company offers a mature DLP product. RSA. The security division of EMC continues to support innovative DLP functionality. Symantec. The largest security software company offers a complete and granular DLP solution. Trustwave. With a traditional focus on compliance, Trustwave competes on detection methods and specific use cases. Digital Guardian, formerly Verdasys. This security vendor focuses on data protection and offers a highly feature-rich DLP solution. Websense. Traditional focus on email and web security plays well to this vendor’s DLP offering. Included in this Vendor Landscape: Content and context aware DLP has emerged as the baseline for viable vendors leaving behind solutions that apply policies without viewing content or analyzing the context. Simple regulatory compliance solutions no longer serve the general market as demand grows for comprehensive, multi-faceted DLP solutions. For this Vendor Landscape, Info-Tech focused on those vendors that offer broad capabilities across multiple platforms and that have a strong market presence and/or reputational presence among mid and large-sized enterprises.

6 6Info-Tech Research Group Vendor Landscape: Data Loss Prevention (DLP) Criteria Weighting DLP criteria & weighting factors Vendor is committed to the space and has a future product and portfolio roadmap. Focus Vendor offers global coverage and is able to sell and provide post-sales support. Support Vendor is profitable, knowledgeable, and will be around for the long term. Viability Vendor channel strategy is appropriate and the channels themselves are strong. Sales Implementing and operating the solution is affordable given the technology. Affordability Multiple deployment options and extensive integration capabilities are available. Architecture The end-user and administrative interfaces are intuitive and offer streamlined workflow. Interface The solution provides basic and advanced feature/functionality.

7 7Info-Tech Research Group Vendor Landscape: Data Loss Prevention (DLP) Table Stakes represent the minimum standard; without these, a product doesn’t even get reviewed If Table Stakes are all you need from your DLP solution, the only true differentiator for the organization is price. Otherwise, dig deeper to find the best price to value for your needs. The products assessed in this Vendor Landscape TM meet, at the very least, the requirements outlined as Table Stakes. Many of the vendors go above and beyond the outlined Table Stakes, some even do so in multiple categories. This section aims to highlight the products’ capabilities in excess of the criteria listed here. The Table StakesWhat does this mean? The solution provides a central reporting engine for policy creation and management with canned reports and RBAC. Centralized Reporting Engine The solution provides options, such as block, move, quarantine, and delete, for violations. Multiple Enforcement Actions The solution scans content and context of files in real time, 24/7. Real-time Scanning The solution is capable of structured and unstructured data fingerprinting for scanning. Fingerprinting The solution scans inbound and outbound messages for security violations.

8 8Info-Tech Research Group Vendor Landscape: Data Loss Prevention (DLP) Advanced Features are the capabilities that allow for granular market differentiation Info-Tech scored each vendor’s features offering as a summation of its individual scores across the listed advanced features. Vendors were given one point for each feature the product inherently provided. Some categories were scored on a more granular scale with vendors receiving half points. Breadth of protocol support, cloud protection, peer to peer, Web 2.0, and virtualization environment support. Advanced Environment Support Multiple operating system and device type support with offline protection, removable media, print screen, and copy and paste support. Endpoint Support Advanced data fingerprinting of non-Microsoft documents, graphic, audio, and visual file formats, and double byte characters. Data Fingerprinting Support for real-time decryption and re-encryption of information. Decryption and Re- encryption Support E-discovery support, drill-down and pivot functionality, and export capabilities with data preservation. Forensic Capabilities Integration with augmentation solutions like DRM, Active Directory or LDAP, SIEM, and NAC.
