Next DLP a leader in insider risk and data protection, today announced the launch of Secure Data Flow, a groundbreaking capability within the Reveal Platform that uses the “What, Where, Who and How” of data’s origin, movements and modifications to provide unparalleled protection.

Revolutionizing Data Protection

In today’s rapidly evolving digital landscape, legacy data protection technologies are falling short. They rely heavily on pattern matching, regular expressions, keywords, user-applied tags, and fingerprinting, which can only cover a limited range of text-based data types. Secure Data Flow overcomes the limitations and complexities of legacy Data Loss Prevention (DLP) by complementing traditional content and sensitivity classification-based approaches with origin-based data identification, manipulation detection, and data egress controls. This results in an all-encompassing, 100% effective, false-positive-free solution that simplifies the lives of security analysts.

Recent studies show that employees download an average of 30GB of data each month from SaaS applications to their endpoints, including mobile phones, laptops, and desktops​ (Productiv)​​ (Vendr)​. This staggering volume underscores the critical need for advanced data protection measures. By tracking data from its origin as it flows to sanctioned and unsanctioned egress channels within an organization, Secure Data Flow equips security teams to prevent data theft and misuse effectively.

Key Benefits of Secure Data Flow

• Comprehensive Data Tracking: Secure Data Flow secures the flow of critical business data from any SaaS application, including Salesforce, Workday, SAP, and GitHub, ensuring that sensitive information is always protected.
• Enhanced Data Protection: By using data origin and sensitive data identification, Secure Data Flow safeguards your company’s intellectual property and sensitive data from accidental loss and malicious theft.
• Insightful Investigations: Security analysts investigating malicious data exfiltration gain invaluable contextual insights into data origin, manipulation, and lineage, enabling them to identify, investigate, and report on data security risks and incidents with unprecedented accuracy.

A New Era in Data Loss Prevention

With Secure Data Flow, Reveal sets a new standard for data protection, offering a solution that is both powerful and easy to use. It ensures that organizations can confidently protect their most critical data assets with confidence, regardless of their location or application.

Next DLP , a leader in insider risk and data protection, today announced a new ‘Scoped Investigations’ capability in the Reveal platform that protects privacy by time bounding and restricting access to employee activity to only investigators with an approved and legitimate need to access it. A complementary pseudonymization feature redacts personally identifiable information (“PII”) so that security professionals can investigate potential incidents without seeing employee details. This prevents bias and protects employee privacy while permitting security professionals to get their jobs done.

Scoped Investigations empower organizations to meet employee privacy expectations and comply with information security regulations by limiting the information accessible to security analysts for forensic analysis by default. Scoped Investigations grants time-bound, revocable, and audited data access to allow comprehensive investigations by authorized personnel only.

This new capability helps internal auditors and data protection officers (DPOs) prevent unnecessary exposure or mishandling of sensitive employee data by enforcing the ‘need to know’ and ‘least privilege’ principles. Additionally, Reveal APIs enable customers to seamlessly integrate with existing identity based authorization workflows.
