How to Choose the Right Data Loss Prevention Architecture

Data loss prevention (DLP) is an essential aspect of modern cybersecurity. As companies generate and process more data than ever before, the risks of data breaches, leaks, and thefts are higher than ever. Data loss prevention architecture is the foundation of a strong DLP program that can protect sensitive data and intellectual property from internal and external threats.

Key Considerations

Choosing the right DLP architecture is critical to the success of any DLP program. GTB Technologies is a leading provider of DLP solutions that offer a range of architectures to meet different business needs. Here are the key considerations for choosing the right DLP architecture with GTB Technologies.

  1. Cloud-based vs. on-premises architecture: One of the first decisions to make is whether to deploy a cloud-based or on-premises DLP architecture. Cloud-based DLP solutions are hosted by a third-party provider and offer scalability, flexibility, and ease of use. On the other hand, on-premises DLP solutions are installed on the company’s own servers and offer greater control and customization. GTB Technologies offers both cloud-based and on-premises DLP solutions, allowing companies to choose the architecture that best suits their needs.
  2. Network vs. endpoint architecture: Another key decision is whether to deploy a network-based or endpoint-based DLP architecture. Network-based DLP solutions monitor network traffic to detect and prevent data leaks and breaches. Endpoint-based DLP solutions, on the other hand, focus on protecting data at the endpoint, such as laptops, desktops, and mobile devices. GTB Technologies offers both network-based and endpoint-based DLP solutions, allowing companies to choose the architecture that best fits their security posture.
  3. Rule-based vs. machine learning-based architecture: Rule-based DLP solutions use pre-defined rules and policies to detect and prevent data leaks and breaches. Machine learning-based DLP solutions, on the other hand, use artificial intelligence and machine learning algorithms to identify patterns and anomalies that may indicate a data breach. GTB Technologies offers both rule-based and machine learning-based DLP solutions, allowing companies to choose the architecture that best meets their security needs.
  4. Integration with other security solutions: DLP solutions work best when integrated with other security solutions, such as firewalls, intrusion detection systems, and SIEMs. GTB Technologies offers integrations with a wide range of security solutions, allowing companies to build a comprehensive security ecosystem that can detect and prevent data breaches, malware attacks, and other cyber threats.

Way to Success

The reality is that choosing the right DLP architecture is critical to the success of any DLP program. GTB Technologies offers a range of DLP solutions that can be customized to meet the unique needs of different businesses. By considering factors such as cloud-based vs. on-premises architecture, network vs. endpoint architecture, rule-based vs. machine learning-based architecture, and integration with other security solutions, companies can choose the DLP architecture that best fits their security posture and business objectives.

I am an investor at Bain Capital specializing in cybersecurity and infrastructure. We have been doing a deep dive into the enterprise data space since our investment in Ata#####, and have found data loss prevention one of the largest pain points. Many firms lack comprehensive data privacy policies and solutions. We see GTB’s platform as a direct response to address this problem, and we feel it is a best-in-class solution. Nov. 16, 2022 lkin

Blue Cross ... Meeting our complicated needs

Over the years, our environment has become increasing complicated as we continue to improve our security and data protection posture. GTB Technologies has demonstrated time and time again its ability to be agile in meeting our needs. We have seen other (larger) companies struggle to understand issues and communicate them within their company to work toward delivering a solution. This has not been the case with GTB.

GTB Is A DLP Market Leader

Our deployed Digital Guardian deployment was failing miserably. The product did not function properly and support was non-existent. The inability to address audit issues, inaccurate data provided by the system, and the lack of reporting prompted us to implement GTB after a detailed evaluation of DLP products.

Most Advanced DLP

"GTB has one of the most advanced DLP solutions on the market and we are proud to have them as a partner. As soon as we added them to the Avanan Cloud Security Platform we started seeing our customers testing and then purchasing their solution on our platform" Gil Friedrich, CEO Avanan
