Websense hopes a new "DLP for Download" program will speed adoption of the technology by easing deployment and installation.
Websense is taking a new approach to its data loss prevention (DLP)
story, opting to make a full version of its product suite available to
customers via download.
The complexity of implementing DLP has slowed adoption of the technology in the past, and experts say
proper planning upfront can
be the difference between easy deployments and administrative
headaches. To address the challenges around installation and
deployment, Websense is offering "DLP for Download" to give
organizations a chance to install and evaluate the technology with less
difficulty.
"Most DLP solutions take weeks, if not months, to deploy, and then
there's still the requirement to get it operational," explained David
Meizlik, Director of Product Marketing at Websense. "By streamlining
our solution so it can be easily downloaded and installed in under an
hour, we're radically reducing the cost and complexity to assess risk,
identify need and evaluate DLP technology."
To that end, the company is
allowing customers to use the download for free for 30 days.
The suite is managed by the Websense TRITON console, which
integrates reporting and managing from the DLP solution with Websense's
Web Security Gateway products. The suite, Meizlik said, secures data at
rest, in use, and in motion, and can perform passive monitoring or
active enforcement ranging from notifications to blocking.
"For discovery, it can scan an enterprise both from the network and
endpoint layer and report on and remediate sensitive data stored
inappropriately and at risk of being lost," he said. "It can monitor
and enforce on network channels and at the client - both on and off
network, including HTTP, HTTPS, FTP, IM, USB, Copy, Paste, Print, Print
Screen, and more."
The download is supported by an online portal that includes
step-by-step video instructions to deploying and setting policies, as
well as a policy template and best practice guide. The
initial license enables monitoring of Web and e-mail channels for
up to 500 employees. After the free trial period, the price goes up to
$17.50 per employee.
