Digital Guardian vs. Box Shield

Effective data protection that remains uncompromised provides the flexibility needed to cater to your unique needs. Among the various data loss prevention (DLP) solutions, Digital Guardian distinguishes itself with its ability to apply either a use case-based approach—which targets specific data types or user groups—or a data risk discovery technique that uncovers previously unidentified use cases. By leveraging this risk discovery approach, organizations can gain improved insight into where sensitive data resides, how it travels within the company, and what vulnerabilities may exist, all without the requirement of setting up formal policies. Built on AWS, Digital Guardian simplifies the deployment process while keeping overhead low and scalability high, thereby enhancing the value of your security investments. It offers extensive compatibility with Windows, macOS, and Linux operating systems, as well as support for both browser-based and native applications. Additionally, its innovative “unknown risk” strategy sheds light on the location and movement of sensitive data, revealing associated risks without depending on established policies. Digital Guardian is unique in delivering a cohesive methodology for data discovery and classification, factoring in content, user, and context to ensure robust protection throughout your digital environment. This comprehensive strategy not only boosts data security but also aids in streamlining compliance efforts across varied regulatory frameworks, making it an essential tool for organizations aiming to safeguard their critical information assets. Ultimately, the adaptability and depth of Digital Guardian's solutions make it a formidable ally in navigating the complexities of data protection and compliance.
