Imperva Expands File Protection with Broad Data Loss Prevention Integrations
June 2011 by Marc Jacob
Imperva announced the extension of its cornerstone file security solution, SecureSphere File Activity Monitoring, via integrations and marketing partnerships with leading data loss prevention (DLP) RSA, Websense, McAfee and Code Green Networks. The combination of File Activity Monitoring and DLP helps enterprises better protect sensitive data and aids the analysis of data ownership, access rights and usage of sensitive data. The capability is available today as a part of SecureSphere 8.5.
SecureSphere works with DLP and other content discovery solutions to import the location of sensitive files and the type of sensitive data that has been discovered. That information is then leveraged to focus SecureSphere analytical capabilities on the most important data. Data classification information from these solutions is also used in SecureSphere policies to control access and generate alerts when sensitive data is accessed. The combination of file activity monitoring with DLP ensures:
· Data owners can be identified for sensitive data
· An audit trail exists of who has accessed sensitive data
· The sensitive data is protected by real-time policies
· Access to the sensitive data is based on a business need to know.
