In today’s fast-paced interconnected business environment, it’s imperative that companies ensure the security of private data and communication programs running on their networks. Organizations are often not aware that confidential information is being shared inadvertently or maliciously with the outside, whether by webmail, e-mail, instant messaging, or other protocols. Protecting private information and client records is a mandate, not just an option, for staying in business and remaining competitive in the 21st century.

Comply with Government Regulations
LightEdge DLP services help you comply with government regulations designed to protect personal private data. Personal health information (PHI) is protected by the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) Privacy Rule enacted by the U.S. Congress in 1996. Protection of personal financial information is required by the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (GLBA) enacted by the U.S. Congress in 1999. Other government
regulations that LightEdge DLP can help you comply with include PCI
standards, SOX, and CIPA.

Web, Email, and IM Proxies
Block content violations from leaving the network via email, instant
messaging or HTTP connections by using LightEdge DLP as a Web, Email, or IM Proxy. Violations are blocked in real time and the sender and administrators can be notified that action was taken.

• Unique Layered Approach – LightEdge DLP optimizes performance through a unique three layered filtering approach. First, protocol filtering is used to identify traffic via signatures and block the usage of unwanted applications and protocols with TCP/IP reset packets. Second, web filtering is applied to prevent the access of specific categories or websites. Finally, content analysis is applied on the remaining traffic for confidential data.
