Updated solution adds integrated user activity monitoring,
new analytic capabilities, and discovery support for Elasticsearch
databases
SCHAFFHAUSEN, Switzerland, March 22, 2021 - Acronis, a
global leader in cyber protection, today released Acronis
DeviceLock DLP 9.0, a significant update to the company's signature data loss
protection (DLP) solution. With 69% of all data breaches
resulting from internal sources, both accidental and intentional,
this release enables organizations to secure their data against the
most prevalent leakage threats.
Given modern businesses' reliance on data for day-to-day
operations, data breaches can lead to heavy financial damages in
the form of regulatory fines, litigation, business continuity
interruptions, and reputational harm. Independent research
conducted by the Ponemon Institute reveals that the average cost of
insider-related incidents is now $11.45 million, having climbed 31%
over the past two years.
"Data protection is a basic need of every organization," said
Jan-Jaap "JJ" Jager, Chief Revenue Officer, Acronis. "From
intellectual property and trade secrets to sensitive customer and
employee information, it is mission-critical for modern businesses
to protect themselves from accidental or intentional data loss.
Acronis continues to expand our integrated cyber protection
solutions to ensure that more workloads are safeguarded against
all forms of data breach."
With Acronis DeviceLock DLP 9.0, administrators can exercise
granular control over allowable actions and processes while
maintaining regulatory compliance, regardless of where they
operate. Built-in auditing and analysis tools make it simple to
turn activity logs into actionable insights.
Acronis DeviceLock 9.0 features a modular architecture that
allows businesses to control their total cost of ownership: the
standalone Acronis DeviceLock Core module can be supplemented with
several add-on components to enable additional functionalities.
Another standalone product, Acronis DeviceLock Discovery, further
reduces the risk of data loss by automatically discovering exposed
data-at-rest and protecting it with configurable remediation
actions.
New capabilities introduced in Acronis DeviceLock DLP 9.0
include:
- Acronis DeviceLock User Activity Monitor add-on, an optional component that enables trigger-based recording of end user actions - including keystrokes, active processes, and entire screens - and provides built-in tools for administrators to view and analyze these activities. This add-on expands the evidence base for IT security incident investigations and simplifies the detection and mitigation of suspicious or dangerous behavior. Flexible start/stop recording rules support both event- and state-based criteria.
- User Dossiers, which ease information security auditing and increase visibility over data flows and related activities by collecting end-user action statistics and presenting them in easily-understood graphical representations. User Dossiers can be complemented with additional user account data taken from Active Directory or an LDAP directory.
- Elasticsearch database scanning support for Acronis DeviceLock Discovery, further extending the add-on's reach and allowing administrators to gain visibility and control over sensitive data-at-rest across their entire IT environment.
