Avanan is excited to announce SmartDLP, a new Data Loss Prevention (DLP) Machine-Learning engine powered by Avanan! SmartDLP will be added as an additional option to the 3rd party options we already have on the platform and will help Avanan's customers protect their organization's data from potential data breaches or data ex-filtration transmissions.
This release is the first part of our long term commitment to provide a best-in-class technology for data classification. We’re already working on additional capabilities to improve classification, enhanced UI for customer-specific configuration, and additional policy/action enhancements.
SmartDLP solution allows you to control your data in the cloud and meet your industry’s compliance regulations. SmartDLP allows you to easily set up DLP policies across the protected cloud platforms, detect sensitive information that is being sent or shared, and define the actions to be taken, such as blocking the operation or encrypting the data.
SmartDLP comes with powerful default settings that are already tuned to your geography - United States, European Union, Canada, etc, and then allows you to configure your customer-specific policy with the set of DLP rules relevant to you, out of +100 available rule.
SmartDLP is a powerful A.I. engine that combines several DLP classification tools with both Avanan’s Machine-Learning and 3rd party pattern classifiers. It detects data patterns over emails, files (email attachments and files hosted on file-sharing services), and text messages posted on collaboration platforms.
SmartDLP findings are processed by the standard Avanan DLP policies that generate security events and determine what actions to apply - add to vault, encrypt, block, and notify. SmartDLP provides the necessary information on the security events that can be used during the investigation process.
SmartDLP now becomes the default DLP engine on the Avanan Platform.
After extensive side-by-side comparison of SmartDLP to the other stand-alone DLP engines on the Avanan platform, our team was able to verify the superior performance of SmartDLP in both additional findings and lower false-positive rates. Accordingly, we plan to start rolling it out to all our customers. Starting with the upgrade of Oct 4th and over the course of the month of October, this new capability will be rolled out to all Avanan’s DLP customers.
Avanan’s DLP solution, powered by SmartDLP offers the best of all worlds!
