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.
