Netwrix has been named Market Leader in Data Loss Prevention at the 2024 Global InfoSec Awards, recognizing Netwrix Endpoint Protector as a trusted enterprise-grade DLP solution. With capabilities like device and USB control, content-aware protection, enforced encryption, and cross-platform coverage, Endpoint Protector safeguards sensitive data across hybrid environments, strengthens compliance, and reduces the risk of breaches and insider misuse.
We’re thrilled to announce that Netwrix has been named the Market Leader in Data Loss Prevention (DLP) at the 2024 Global InfoSec Awards, hosted by Cyber Defense Magazine — one of the most respected voices in cybersecurity news and analysis.
This award is a powerful endorsement of our commitment to delivering Data Security that Starts with Identity™, and it highlights the growing impact of Netwrix Endpoint Protector as a trusted enterprise-grade DLP solution.
Why Netwrix Endpoint Protector Stood Out
Cyber Defense Magazine evaluated hundreds of cybersecurity vendors across multiple categories. Netwrix was selected for its unique ability to prevent data loss across modern, hybrid IT environments, where traditional perimeter-based security often falls short.
Here’s what makes Netwrix Endpoint Protector a standout solution:
- Granular Device and USB Control
Prevent unauthorized data transfers by controlling access to removable devices. IT teams can define policies based on user roles, device types, and data sensitivity, stopping risky behavior before it happens. - Content-Aware Protection
Monitor and analyze data in motion, at rest, and in use. Whether it’s a file being emailed, uploaded to the cloud, or copied to a USB, Endpoint Protector scans content for sensitive information and enforces policies to prevent leaks. - Enforced Encryption
Automatically encrypt sensitive data on approved removable media. This ensures that even if a device is lost or stolen, the data remains protected and unreadable to unauthorized users. - Data Discovery
Locate and classify sensitive data stored on endpoints, enabling IT teams to encrypt, restrict, or remove it as needed to minimize exposure. - Cross-Platform Coverage
Protect endpoints running Windows, macOS, and Linux, even when they’re offline. This flexibility is critical for organizations with diverse device ecosystems and remote workforces. - Regulatory Alignment
Simplify compliance with major regulations like HIPAA, PCI DSS, GDPR, and NIST. Predefined templates and customizable rules help organizations meet data protection requirements without added complexity.
Together, these capabilities empower organizations to reduce the risk of breaches, insider misuse, and regulatory penalties, while giving IT teams greater visibility and control over sensitive data.
A Closer Look at Netwrix Endpoint Protector
Netwrix Endpoint Protector, a core component of the Netwrix Endpoint Management and Data Security Posture Management (DSPM) solutions, is designed to address one of the most persistent and costly cybersecurity challenges: data exfiltration from endpoints. Whether caused by negligence, insider threats, or malicious actors, data loss at the endpoint level can have devastating consequences.
Key features include:
- Policy-Based Controls: Define granular rules for data access and transfer based on user identity, department, or device type.
- Identity-First Enforcement: Apply consistent policies tied to user identity and role, ensuring security across all endpoints regardless of location.
- Real-Time Alerts and Reporting: Get notified instantly when policy violations occur, and generate detailed reports for audits and investigations.
- Offline Protection: Enforce DLP policies even when devices are disconnected from the corporate network.
- Cloud Integration: Extend protection to cloud storage and collaboration platforms, ensuring consistent data security across environments.
- Scalable Architecture: Easily deploy across thousands of endpoints with centralized management and minimal performance impact.
These features make Endpoint Protector not just a security tool, but a strategic asset within the broader Netwrix portfolio, giving organizations multi-layered protection against evolving threats.
