SASE Blindspots – Endpoint DLP

The new global business reality has created a slew of new challenges on the data protection front.

Changes to network configuration and norms in company system access have made many traditional security models inefficient if not completely obsolete.

Trends in global commerce adapting to the pandemic work environment have accelerated these realities. A Gallup poll from May for instance showed that seven out of ten white collar workers are still working from home. From an information security perspective, this means the vast majority of workers are accessing their company networks–with some level of regularity–outside their defined workstations.

The growing prevalence of remote working and other similar patterns have increased exponentially the modern phenomenon of wide-area networking (WAN) in which digital communications and information delivery need to be maintained over a wide geographical area but within one integrated working environment. This in turn has created high demand for security tools that can address new realities. Many organizations have turned to Secure Access Service Edge (SASE) solutions designed to defend diffuse networks.

Companies however are facing a quickly changing technological landscape that is quickly finding ways to circumvent SASE protocols. Workers now have ways of getting around company VPNs and even disable SaaS-based web security. What managers need is a platform that can adapt and respond to the ever-increasing SASE gaps.

Endpoint DLP that Works^tm for a complete solution

Taking on this unique set of enterprise challenges, GTB has recently announced its new release of the DLP the Works platform.
