Symantec Data Loss Prevention vs. Box Shield

DLP provides thorough oversight and management of your information regardless of its location or method of transmission, effectively preventing insiders from pilfering sensitive data such as customer information and product details. It consistently monitors for policy violations and questionable user behavior at multiple control points. Through the use of real-time blocking, quarantining, and alerts, it deters end users from leaking information. In cases of substantial data loss, it facilitates swift and effective responses using automated incident remediation tools and one-click SmartResponses. This system also allows for policy adjustments to find the right balance between security and user efficiency. Moreover, it improves visibility and control over data both in transit and at rest within cloud applications, helping to uncover Shadow Data. You can leverage your existing DLP policies and workflows to implement highly specific rules and business logic across various cloud platforms like Office 365, G Suite, Box, and Dropbox. By adopting these measures, organizations can cultivate a secure environment that supports both regulatory compliance and innovative growth. Ultimately, this comprehensive approach not only safeguards sensitive information but also empowers organizations to thrive in a digital landscape.
