View full review »Our primary use case for the solution is data leakage prevention, which we deploy on-premises. For example, we had a confidential document signed by one of our HR members bearing the details of some financials for the company. It was mistakenly sent to the company, all the employers, and employees, but we had just controlled this document from the DLP at that time. We restricted the document from being removed from every company computer through McAfee, so the document was deleted from every desktop. We send all the data over email or on the file server, SharePoint, or any web portal. So, for example, whenever we upload any data, DLP keeps a copy of it, makes a mirror, and keeps a copy of it in its database, securing it with an alarm. We set some words in a document or an email, and an alert will be generated for us, and DLP will make a copy of this data, allowing us to check if the data has been sent to another company on a web portal or file-sharing server.

Assistant Manager Technical Support at Syscon
Our main use case of this DLP solution is for endpoint protection of data breaching. Systems have to be protected both internally and externally. Our company offers multiple solutions for endpoint security, network security, data loss prevention and firewalls. We are a service provider and a partner of McAfee. Here in Pakistan, very few companies take data loss prevention seriously. We work with the financial sector and they all need that level of security. I'm an assistant manager of technical support.

We are a consulting house for various clients. We provide consultancy to our clients in terms of which product they should use based on their requirements and environment.
Our clients use this solution for DLP. They are using it for the basis of endpoint protection, prevention of malware infection, detection, and management of the endpoint.
The client has not fully utilized the DLP because they have not done the data classification well enough to actually get the full value of the DLP solution.

The solution was added to the existing infrastructure such as AV Next-Gen. We were using it to expand into whitelisting. Primarily the use case was to test technologies that could grow beyond the traditional approaches for Next-Gen AV and get into more deterministic protection against unknown attacks, without relying holistically on behavioral type approaches that were meant to stop attacks, and protect processes and data.
