Navigating the Complexities of Securing Unstructured Data

Challenges in Securing Unstructured Data

Unstructured data, encompassing emails, documents, multimedia files, and more, poses unique security risks due to its decentralized nature and varied formats.   Traditional security approaches often struggle to monitor and safeguard this data effectively, leaving organizations vulnerable to data breaches, insider threats, and regulatory fines. 

As organizations embrace digital transformation, the sheer volume and complexity of unstructured data continue to expand, exacerbating security risks. 

The Problem of False Positives in Traditional DDR and DLP Solutions

Traditional DDR and DLP solutions often suffer from high false positive rates, which can overwhelm security teams and lead to alert fatigue. This occurs because these solutions rely heavily on pre-defined patterns and rules, which are not always capable of accurately distinguishing between legitimate and malicious activities.

The high false positive rates of these traditional solutions can have several negative consequences:

  • Wasted Resources: Security teams may spend excessive time investigating false alerts, diverting attention from real threats.
  • Alert Fatigue: Constantly dealing with false positives can lead to alert fatigue, where security personnel become desensitized to alerts and may overlook or ignore genuine threats.
  • Reduced Efficiency: The overall efficiency of the security operations center (SOC) is diminished, as the focus shifts from proactive threat hunting to managing and triaging false positives.

Why GTB’s DDR Solution Stands Out

  1. Advanced Accurate Detection:
    • GTB’s platform excels in detecting sensitive data threats. This high accuracy significantly reduces false positives, maintaining that legitimate threats are promptly identified and mitigated.
    • Effectively detects and classifies sensitive data, stopping potential data breaches and enabling rapid containment of such threats.
  2. Technological Sophistication:
    • GTB leverages cutting-edge technologies for more effective threat detection and response compared to traditional DDR and DLP solutions.
  3. Automation and Integration:
    • GTB provides a higher degree of automation in threat detection and response, reducing the need for manual intervention and enabling faster threat mitigation.
    • Seamless integration with other security tools enhances the overall security posture.
  4. Data Protection Techniques:
    • GTB offers more comprehensive and advanced data protection techniques, helping to guarantee sensitive data remains secure in all environments.
  5. Compliance Coverage:
    • GTB’s platform provides thorough compliance management and reporting capabilities, helping organizations meet a broader range of regulatory requirements with ease.
  6. User Experience:
    • GTB’s solution is designed to be user-friendly and efficient, reducing complexity and resource requirements typically associated with traditional DDR solutions.

GTB’s DDR solution, part of the Data Security that Works® platform, provides a superior, comprehensive, and integrated approach to data security. With advanced accurate detection, GTB verify effective protection against modern data threats by accurately detecting sensitive data, stopping potential breaches, and swiftly containing threats. This approach minimizes false positives, simplifies compliance, enhances overall operational efficiency, and significantly reduces the risk of data breaches. Traditional DDR and DLP solutions often fall short due to high false positive rates, but GTB’s innovative technology addresses these challenges head-on, making it the optimal choice for robust data security.

Testimonials

Visibility: Accurately, discover sensitive data; detect and address broken business process, or insider threats including sensitive data breach attempts.

Protection: Automate data protection, breach prevention and incident response both on and off the network; for example, find and quarantine sensitive data within files exposed on user workstations, FileShares and cloud storage.

Notification: Alert and educate users on violations to raise awareness and educate the end user about cybersecurity and corporate policies.

Education: Start target cyber-security training; e.g., identify end-users violating policies and train them.

  • Employees and organizations have knowledge and control of the information leaving the organization, where it is being sent, and where it is being preserved.
  • Ability to allow user classification to give them influence in how the data they produce is controlled, which increases protection and end-user adoption.
  • Control your data across your entire domain in one Central Management Dashboard with Universal policies.
  • Many levels of control together with the ability to warn end-users of possible non-compliant – risky activities, protecting from malicious insiders and human error.
  • Full data discovery collection detects sensitive data anywhere it is stored, and provides strong classification, watermarking, and other controls.
  • Delivers full technical controls on who can copy what data, to what devices, what can be printed, and/or watermarked.
