Sophos Endpoint Security and Data Protection with data loss prevention

The integration of data loss prevention (DLP) into Sophos Endpoint Security and Data Protection (ESDP) assists users with control over sensitive data.

Businesses can now use a single agent to protect against data loss; secure their networks against malware, adware, suspicious files and behaviour; as well as control unauthorised devices and applications. ESDP also addresses many compliance requirements by providing full disk and removable storage encryption.

Through simple configuration, it allows organisations to avoid accidental data loss by warning its employees of possible breaches before any data is transferred. This approach allows IT teams to set flexible security policies that protect the company without impeding on business continuity or end-user productivity.

In addition to integrated data loss prevention, ESDP simplifies cross-platform security. Enhanced application and device control capabilities, such as setting the permissions for removable storage - including USB devices, external hard disks and wireless connection technologies (Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and infrared) - is also included. IT administrators can centrally set group security policies as well as choose from a number of reports, which address compliance reporting requirements, via the Enterprise Console dashboard.
