Data Loss Prevention

Introduction

Protect Your Valuable Data

Work environments are changing dramatically. Organizations have moved from a centralized model to one that is based on distributed sites and a remote workforce, and employees can work anywhere and any time with today's collaboration tools and devices.

Unfortunately, with increased mobility, new communication channels, and diverse services, the risk to proprietary information increases. The Cisco Data Loss Prevention Solution provides a comprehensive strategy for preventing confidential and private data loss, including:

  • Enforcing content policies to prevent critical data loss at high-risk points
  • Encrypting backup tapes or storage devices
  • Securing data from other avenues of risk, such as unauthorized physical or network access, malware, or end-user actions
  • Recommended practices for preventing data loss, which incorporate people, process, and technology
