Hi Professionals,
I am a Manager of Data Security Services at a large bank.
I am looking for a capability comparison between Broadcom Symantec DLP, Proofpoint DLP, and Microsoft Purview DLP. Any comparison reports provided between these products are appreciated.
Thank you for your help.
Data loss prevention (DLP) is an important security technology that can help organizations protect their data from unauthorized access, misuse, and data loss. DLP solutions are designed to detect data breaches and alert companies about the possible security risks associated with data storage. They can be used to block data transfers or restrict access to data stored in cloud-based data stores. In addition, DLP solutions can be used to monitor data usage and detect malicious behavior such as data theft or data leakage. By implementing data loss prevention technology, companies can protect their data from external threats and unauthorized access.
When it comes to Email Cloud Security, Symantec DLP, Proofpoint DLP, and Microsoft Purview DLP are all strong contenders. But which solution is the right one for you? Well, that depends on your specific needs. If you prioritize ease of use and scalability in your Email Cloud Security solutions, then Symantec DLP is the right choice. If, on the other hand, you value data privacy and protection then Proofpoint DLP is a better option. Finally, Microsoft Purview DLP stands out for its comprehensive analytics tools that give users greater insight into their Email Cloud Security performance. So which Email Cloud Security solution do you pick? Choose wisely! It could make all the difference.
@Remy Ma - an interesting response, but I would say the first question to ask is "Where is your data?". If the answer is Exchange Online and M365 in general, then this sways the argument a little. In addition, what people often phrase as DLP is more than just policies to prevent data loss, it's about a tool that can create a Data Security Posture (DSP) and help you manage it (DSPM).
Data Loss is one aspect, but also over exposure of data (data leaks), Insider Risk, Communication Compliance and regulatory compliance are key components of that, so it's actually a DSPM tool that might be required. Symantec DLP is not a complete DSPM, and instead requires additional solutions/licenses to achieve that, in the same way as Proofpoint does.
So, I would respond with "If your data is in M365, then you probably already have the licenses to use the Purview product. In addition, it is as good as Symantec for DLP, but also as good as the other leading vendors across the entire DSPM solution space. So, if it's already there, and already free, and at least as good as the other vendors, why not use it."
This is just my humble opinion of course.
Go with Symantec DLP. If you have any questions let me know @ Ejaz.hassan@risetechno.com.
