• Discover and classify sensitive data and gain visibility to how it is used by employees, contractors, partners and outsourcers
• Assess the risk associated with the sharing of sensitive data, enabling managers to make informed business decisions and create effective data security policies
• Implement automated policy driven data security; driving accountability down to the user resulting in voluntary compliance and increased risk aware behavior
• Alert, block and record high risk behavior ultimately preventing costly and damaging data loss incidents

• Enterprise-wide visibility into sensitive data location and use
• Policy enforcement that leverages not only identity and activity, but also data classification, context, and content analysis
• Risk appropriate responses to user activities including warnings, blocks and policy driven automated file and email encryption

Digital Guardian allows your business to put sensitive information to work while ensuring its usage is governed, controlled and audited.

Protection at the Point of Use
Digital Guardian protects against the misuse, compromise or loss of data across the enterprise through its 5th generation multi-function security agent. Tamper resistant and operating invisibly on desktops, laptops and servers both on and offline, the Digital Guardian Agent monitors and prevents "hard to detect" hi-risk user actions such as:

• Burn, Cut/Paste or Copy to media or devices including CD/DVD
• Cut/Paste or Copy to USB, and wireless devices
• Capture, print screen and print
• Email content or attachments including network or web mail applications
• Transferring data across the network to other systems
• Accessing and interacting with custom or legacy applications

Because it oversees transactions at the "point of use", or host, Digital Guardian is uniquely capable of protecting data simultaneously across applications, devices and channels of communication from a single console - anywhere in the world.

Unique Platform Benefits
