NextLabs Debuts Enterprise DLP 4.5

NextLabs, Inc., developer of policy-driven, information risk management software, announces Enterprise DLP 4.5, the latest release of their identity-aware data protection product, used by leading enterprises to discover, monitor, protect, and manage sensitive data.

Leading customers and vendors recognize the need for integration between identity and access management, information rights management, and data loss prevention to efficiently and effectively protect data on the move and address compliance, confidentiality, and data loss. Enterprise DLP is the first integrated identity-aware product on the market to use identity, user context, and content detection together to accurately identify, discover, detect, and protect data at risk. Identity-aware DLP can enforce policy based on the user roles, partner relationships, and the data being accessed, used, or shared. This identity-aware approach combined with content and user context is proven to provide more accurate results, dramatically reduce false positives, and lower incident management costs when compared to content-only DLP solutions.

Enterprise DLP 4.5 is the result of our close collaboration with leaders from Aerospace and Defense, Manufacturing, and High Technology industries working to mitigate information risk associated with compliance and intellectual property protection.

These companies require solutions that work in their highly collaborative, mobile, and distributed work environments, and are investing in technology based on standards like XACML that can integrate with existing systems and interoperate in the future.

Enterprise DLP brings together Data Loss Prevention, Application and Device Control, Unified Communications Control, and Information Rights Management applications, centrally managed by one policy system. This integrated product allows companies to address more data protection use cases and eliminate multiple security technology silos along with their associated integration and management costs.

Enterprise DLP 4.5 advances NextLabs innovation
in data loss prevention by adding features that:

• Extend policy enforcement across more network protocols including: FTP, SFTP, FTPS, SMTP, HTTP, HTTPS, BitTorrent, Gnutella, IMAP, Jabber, rsync, WebDav, NFS, SMB, CIFS, and more.
• Add advanced Information Rights Management functionality that controls screen capture, offline access lease, and document watermarking. The product already supports standard rights such as access control, printing, clipboard operations, and metadata cleansing.

"Enterprise DLP 4.5 is the result of our close collaboration with leaders from Aerospace and Defense, Manufacturing, and High Technology industries working to mitigate information risk associated with compliance and intellectual property protection," said Andy Han, VP and General Manager of NextLabs."These companies require solutions that work in their highly collaborative, mobile, and distributed work environments, and are investing in technology based on standards like XACML that can integrate with existing systems and interoperate in the future."

Enterprise DLP 4.5 is fully integrated with the entire NextLabs 4.5 Product Suite, which also includes Compliant Enterprise, a content-aware entitlement management system for Microsoft SharePoint, file servers, and enterprise applications. Enterprise DLP 4.5 will be available in August 2009.
