Don’t Let Your Past Haunt You: Secure Your Data Today
Today, data is the lifeblood of any organization. However, as an increasing amount of data is generated and shared, the risk of data loss also grows. That’s where data loss prevention (DLP) comes in.
DLP is a set of measures and technologies designed to protect sensitive information from falling into the wrong hands. It works by monitoring and controlling the flow of data within an organization, preventing accidental or intentional leaks. Think of it as a security guard for your data, constantly watching for suspicious activity and taking action to prevent breaches.
DLP is essential, but it has its limitations.
It’s like a forward-looking shield, protecting your data from future threats. But what about the past? What about the sensitive data that was shared before your DLP policies were in place?
That’s where Tricent comes in. Tricent is a powerful tool that complements DLP by mitigating past data-sharing risks. It’s like a time machine for your data, allowing you to go back and secure past shares, even those made by former employees or before data protection regulations like GDPR were in place.
Here’s a quick comparison of DLP and Tricent:
| Feature | DLP | Tricent |
|---|---|---|
| Focus | Prevents future data sharing | Mitigates past data sharing |
| Approach | Proactive | Reactive |
| Implementation | Complex and time-consuming | Quick and easy |
| Impact on Collaboration | Can sometimes hinder collaboration | Can enable collaboration by eventually unsharing files |
