Response (EDR.)
Digital Guardian’s data protection solution can often replace point solutions and provide a more
consolidated and comprehensive security architecture.
The Digital Guardian solution is very flexible.
• There are best practices and tested content-packs with pre-built policies that can be tuned to
meet an organization’s data protection needs.
• The DG Agent can collect more and better data than the OS itself does.
• The DG Agent sits in front of and protects all of the data on a device.
Many companies use DG for these functions and use cases:
1. DLP / Insider data protection: stop copy/paste, Bluetooth, USB, webmail, email, cloud services
sensitive-data exfiltration. No need for USB GPOs or web-proxies.
2. Forensic tool for insider/outsider threats: The System Scanner can pull back event logs, caches
and other important forensic data, and the process-trees can walk back an attack in time
3. Incident Response Tool: You can send remote commands to be executed to remediate threats
or to do anything you want.
4. Application reporting: You can see every application down to the version on every device
including the performance impact of that application.
5. DG Analytics and Reporting Cloud and SIEM: since DG already sees all network connections and
file movements of sensitive data via the DG agent, it can be considered to be the
organizations SIEM without the need to purchase other tools. If a separate SIEM is utilized, DG
can export via syslog.
6. Behavioral Analytics: Policies based on behavior and managed service based anomaly
detection.
7. Exit Interview: Built in exit interview report for use in collaboration with HR to detail everything
an employee touched (or took) before they leave.
8. Audit and Compliance Reporting: Detail and report on all data-at-rest, its location and its
sensitivity – discovery and classification reporting.
9. Being less restrictive: Most companies consider security to be the group always saying “no.”
With DG, you can protect sensitive data while still saying “yes.” Allow access to websites like
Gmail, DropBox and a myriad of other cloud services while still stopping sensitive data from
being sent to them. So, the CEO can still find out via Gmail that his/her kids have a tournament
this weekend, but data can’t accidently post there.
10. Cloud only or cloud protection: DLP agent management is DG Cloud based, and it supports
cloud apps such as O365 and GSuite.
