"Priced right, backed by an experienced vendor, and with all of the appropriate tools, Trustwave DLP is just the kind of innovative product we look for." -- SC Magazine, Dec. 2012

1. O
ver and over we have said in these pages
that the key duty of information assurance
is to protect the data. One of the most
difficult instances of that duty is data leakage pre-
vention. DLP must address data at rest and data in
motion. To do that it must know
where the data is. This Innovator
accomplishes this duty through
four integrated DLP modules.
Trustwave is well experienced
in information assurance, in gen-
eral. The TrustKeeper platform
is a mainstay of solid information
protection on several
levels. The company has leveraged
this experience to achieve a strongly
conceived product that addresses
the tough challenges of data leakage
prevention.
Starting with more than 70 out-of-the-box com-
pliance categories, this Innovator addresses regula-
tory issues head on. The product is designed to be
set up rapidly, delivering quick results. That is yet
another example of the trend that we saw this year
toward ease of use.
DLP Discover detects and locates IP and sensi-
tive content that one doesn’t want to exfiltrate.
DLP Monitor watches for sensitive data traveling
out of the network and blocks it. DLP Protect
explicitly monitors email and attachments.
The DLP + Encryption module is especially
creative. It is a combination of DLP Discover,
encryption and a comprehensive set of policies
that let users find sensitive data and apply encryp-
tion per an established policy.
Compliance reporting is comprehensive as well
so the DLP suite not only provides appropriate,
easy-to-use DLP, it addresses regulatory require-
ments. As part of the overall Trustwave product
line, DLP provides a strong, focused capability for
protecting an organization’s data. This is a tough
challenge, but this Innovator’s DLP suite really
shines. Priced right, backed by an experienced
vendor, and with all of the appropriate tools,
Trustwave DLP is just the kind of innovative
product we look for.
