Enterprises face dire consequences due to user behavior at endpoints, which puts confidential data at risk. McAfee Host Data Loss Prevention monitors and prevents risky user behavior that can lead to a sensitive data breach. This protection works across networks, through applications, and via removable storage devices. You’re in control whether users are in the office, at home, or on the move.

Customers and employees count on you to keep their personal information confidential. If it were to be disclosed, either accidentally or maliciously, your company would suffer brand damage, customer distrust, regulatory fines, and other financial losses. Likewise, you need to protect your company’s intellectual property if you want to keep your competitive edge.

Think you’re not at risk? According to a survey conducted by Illuminas and McAfee, 55 percent of respondents stated they use portable storage devices to take confidential data out of the workplace every week.  Another 22 percent said they lend portable devices containing work documents on to colleagues.* That’s a lot of opportunities for sensitive data to be lost or stolen.

McAfee offers a proven solution to protect your company from the risks of data loss from both insiders and external threats. McAfee Host Data Loss Prevention (Host DLP) is a key component of McAfee Total Protection for Data—our approach to security risk management that lets you monitor and control your critical information. This comprehensive solution stops data loss across networks, through applications, and via removable storage devices, even when the data has been modified from its original form.

Host DLP prevents data loss by providing comprehensive monitoring, auditing, and control over user behavior across all endpoints. Host-based protection secures data regardless of where users or information go, or whether or not client machines are connected to the corporate network.

Integration with McAfee ePolicy Orchestrator® 4.0 enables you to streamline security risk management tasks from a centralized console. Advanced Web-based management and reporting and auditing capabilities let you define and manage policies that control how employees use and transfer sensitive data. You can also monitor real-time events and generate reports to prove internal and regulatory compliance to auditors, senior management, and other stakeholders.

Features:

• Control internal transfer of data - Control how employees transfer data over the network, use it in applications, and copy it to removable storage devices. Protect data in any format—even if it's modified, copied, pasted, compressed, or encrypted
• Comprehensive device management - Integration with McAfee Device Control allows you to prevent data from being written to USB drives, iPods, and other removable storage devices; specify which approved devices can and can’t be used according to any Windows-based device parameters
