Endpoint Data Loss Prevention (DLP) solutions are critical tools for organizations looking to safeguard sensitive information from insider threats, unintentional leaks, and external attacks. These solutions monitor, detect, and block the transfer of valuable data outside company networks, ensuring compliance with data protection regulations. In this post, we’ll explore the top eight endpoint DLP solutions that offer robust security features, ease of use, and integration capabilities.

The last 12 months have witnessed a rapid-fire round of innovation and adoption of new technologies. Powerful new identities, environments and attack methods are shaping the quickly changing cybersecurity threat landscape, rendering it more complex and causing the diffusion of risk reduction focus. New CyberArk research indicates that the rise of machine identities and the increasing reliance on third- and fourth-party providers are deepening the existing threats and creating novel vulnerabilities.

At Rubrik, our mission is to secure the world’s data. Data is complex and it comes in many forms (structured, unstructured, sensitive, transient, etc. ) and it is critical for every enterprise to protect it. Our systems that backup and store huge amounts of data also get subjected to extreme situations – enormous scale & stress, aging and faults.

When it comes to cloud security and compliance, it’s easy to feel like you’re drowning in a sea of regulations and requirements. But don’t worry; we’re all in the same boat! That’s why we’re thrilled to share our latest point-of-view (POV) paper, “Practical Cloud Security in the Era of Cybersecurity Regulation,” which is crafted with our deep industry expertise and experience.

An organization’s software supply chain includes all the elements involved in developing and distributing software, such as components, tools, processes, and dependencies. Each link in this important chain presents the potential for security threats. Recent research conducted by Gartner shows a major increase in attacks targeting code, tools, open-source components, and development processes, particularly in areas where organizations lack visibility.

As technology becomes more complex, the need for strong cybersecurity measures has never been more critical. Statistics speak for themselves – according to the 2023 Annual Data Breach Report, the world has seen a 78 percent increase in 2023 in data compromises compared to the previous year. The reasons can be different – from human mistakes and ransomware to security misconfigurations.
