DLP Background Definition of Data Loss Prevention Ï Products that, based on central policies, identify, monitor, and protect data at rest, in motion, and in use, through deep content analysis. -Rich Mogull of Securosis Other TLAs Data Loss Protection Ï Data Leak Prevention/Protection Ï Information Loss Prevention/Protection Ï Information Leak Prevention/Protection Ï Extrusion Prevention System Ï Content Monitoring and Filtering Ï Content Monitoring and Protection Ï

DLP Background Identify where holes or exit points where leaks may occur Instant messaging (Yahoo Instant Messaging, Windows Live) Ï P 2 P file sharing (e. g. Lime. Wire case as reported by LA Times) Ï Media streaming Ï Web mail (Yahoo mail, Gmail, Hotmail) Ï USB storage devices (ZDNet story from UK) Ï Removable drives Ï Devices connected through external ports (Firewire, serial, parallel) Ï FTP server Ï Printouts Ï

DLP Background How data are flagged and identified Ï Initial predefined policies Ï Ï Social security numbers Prescribed in HIPAA, SOX, GLBA, etc. (Bank account numbers, Credit card numbers) Customized categories based on client needs Data Discovery Ï Ï Looks into the content and not just the file type Examine context considerations (factor in parent directories, user group matching) Structured data matching (SSN, credit card numbers, etc) Unstructured data matching (diagrams, source codes, media files) Ï Ï Fingerprint the data by using one way hash and saved in the database Information can then be used to identify confidential data elsewhere

DLP Background Three different levels of DLP solution Ï Data in Motion Ï Ï Data at Rest Ï Ï Data which uses HTTP, FTP, IM, P 2 P and SMTP protocols are mirrored in the DLP server for inspection where visibility is enhanced Data in file servers, databases, hosts computers set for file sharing, etc. Data at End Points Ï Data which sits on end user hosts (workstations and notebooks)

DLP Background Technical Feature Considerations Ï Deep content analysis, monitoring and prevention Ï Ï Centralized Management Ï Ï Central policy setting, dashboard features Broad content management across platforms and ease of Integration Ï Ï Identification and blocking capability Review of information infrastructure including software for requirement and compatibility issues Automated remediation Ï Transfer confidential files, LDAP lookup, secure purging of sensitive data Business Environment Considerations Ï Matching with Business Need Ï Ï Market Presence Ï Ï Matches defined business need over feature allure Major presence in the market, financial industry experience Staffing Needs Ï Staffing considerations to handle additional responsibilities
