Cybersecurity company Symantec Corp. has announced the integration of Symantec Data Loss Prevention (DLP) with Symantec CloudSOC (formerly Blue Coat’s Elastica CloudSOC Cloud Access Security Broker [CASB]) and Cloud Data Protection products. The integrated solution provides visibility and control over all sensitive content that users upload, store, and share via the cloud, protecting confidential information anywhere and everywhere it travels.
By combining Symantec Data Loss Prevention (DLP) with Symantec CloudSOC (formerly Blue Coat’s Elastica CloudSOC Cloud Access Security Broker [CASB]) and Cloud Data Protection products, states Symantec, customers can now seamlessly migrate their DLP solution to the cloud, leveraging all of their existing policies and workflow integrations to better protect assets — on-premises, in private clouds, and in public cloud applications and services.
Symantec DLP Cloud and CloudSOC offers:
- Direct visibility of all types of content in more than 60 cloud apps, including Office 365, Box, Dropbox, Google Apps, or Salesforce.
- Ability to leverage existing DLP policies and workflows for cloud apps as well as endpoints, networks, and data centers.
- Constant monitoring and control of all content additions, changes and access rights in cloud apps.
- Activity logging, forensic investigation, and policy enforcement capabilities to safely enable the use of sanctioned and unsanctioned cloud applications and ensure compliance for cloud data.
The integration of Symantec Cloud Data Protection also adds new data protection capabilities to Symantec DLP, allowing customers to address cloud data compliance, privacy and residency concerns. DLP policies can now be configured to selectively encrypt or tokenize cloud SaaS application information based on the data detected in an application’s field or file attachments.
Symantec DLP Cloud with CloudSOC is now available in the U.S. with global availability expected in early 2017.
