Netwrix Endpoint Protector has won the 2024 Cybersecurity Excellence Award for Data Loss Prevention, underscoring its ability to protect sensitive data across Windows, macOS, and Linux. With capabilities like device control, content-aware protection, enforced encryption, and eDiscovery, it safeguards hybrid workforces against insider threats, accidental leaks, and malicious exfiltration while supporting compliance at scale.
Netwrix Endpoint Protector has been recognized with the 2024 Cybersecurity Excellence Award in the Data Loss Prevention category, highlighting our commitment to safeguarding sensitive data across diverse endpoint environments.
Multi-OS Protection with Proven Impact
Netwrix Endpoint Protector, formerly known as Endpoint Protector by CoSoSys, is an enterprise-grade, multi-OS Data Loss Prevention (DLP) solution designed to safeguard sensitive data, including PII and PHI, from insider threats, accidental leaks, and malicious exfiltration. With support for Windows, macOS, and Linux, the solution empowers organizations to enforce DLP policies across all endpoints from a single, unified interface.
Netwrix Endpoint Protector enforces DLP policies continuously, even when endpoints are offline or outside the corporate network. This ensures that sensitive data cannot be leaked during travel, remote work, or connectivity disruptions.
Key Capabilities That Differentiate Endpoint Protector
The award highlights several key capabilities that set Netwrix Endpoint Protector apart:
- Device Control: Prevents data loss via USBs, Bluetooth, printers, and other removable media by allowing granular control based on device type, serial number, time, or network policies.
- Content-Aware Protection: Uses deep content inspection and contextual scanning to block unauthorized sharing of sensitive data — whether through email, messaging apps, cloud uploads, or local transfers.
- Enforced Encryption: Automatically applies 256-bit AES encryption to USB devices approved for data sharing, ensuring secure portability.
- eDiscovery: Scans endpoints for sensitive data at rest using predefined content types, Regular Expressions, and compliance-specific filters (e.g., GDPR, HIPAA, PCI DSS). This enables organizations to quickly locate sensitive information and prove compliance with regulatory requirements.
Built for Today’s Hybrid Workforces
Netwrix Endpoint Protector is engineered for modern, distributed environments. Together with Netwrix Endpoint Management, which enforces least privilege, controls removable devices, and ensures Group Policy compliance, organizations gain holistic endpoint security. This unified approach helps IT teams not only prevent data leaks but also reduce endpoint attack surfaces and maintain compliance at scale.
- Zero-Day Support for new Windows and macOS releases, ensuring no gaps in protection.
- Full Feature Parity across operating systems — including advanced DLP capabilities for Mac and Linux, which are often lacking in other solutions.
- Content & Context Awareness that minimizes false positives and reduces IT overhead by applying intelligent, adaptive policies.
