IDERA SQL Virtual Database [EOL] vs Symantec Data Loss Prevention comparison

IDERA SQL Virtual Database is a powerful, new one-of-a-kind solution that lets you attach Microsoft SQL Server backup files and query them just like they were real databases! Its revolutionary, patent-pending technology allows DBAs to gain instant-access to critical data in a backup file without wasting the time or storage necessary to restore the database. Just attach the backup file, and use any native SQL Server or third-party tools to query and extract the data you need in minutes. IDERA SQL Virtual Database is now part of IDERA SQL Safe Backup.

Keeping sensitive corporate information safe and compliant has never been easy. But today, you’re faced with a totally new set of data protection challenges. Sensitive information is leaving the safety of your corporate network as more employees share files over consumer cloud storage services and access those files on their own mobile devices. The number of targeted cyber attacks continues to grow, as cybercriminals develop effective new methods for defeating traditional security measures and stealing corporate information. And as all of these factors converge, it becomes increasingly difficult to manage corporate information and protect it against loss and theft. 

Symantec Data Loss Prevention (DLP) provides a comprehensive approach to information protection that embraces today’s cloud- and mobile-centered realities. With DLP, you can:

• Discover where data is stored across all of your cloud, mobile, network, endpoint, and storage systems

• Monitor how data is being used, whether your employees are on or off the network

• Protect data from being leaked or stolen—no matter where it’s stored or how it’s used
