Overview

With increasing amounts of business data migrating to, and being created in, the cloud, organizations are increasingly facing the challenge of identifying and protecting sensitive data. Traditional content inspection techniques have a reputation for introducing too many false positives or false negatives. Netskope Cloud DLP, however, supports more than 3,000 data identifiers and 500 file types, keyword search, pattern matching, proximity analysis, and international support including double-byte characters to increase accuracy.

The proliferation of cloud services has led to an exponential rise in the volume of sensitive business data stored in and shared across cloud environments. Netskope’s April Cloud Report report found that webmail dominated cloud data loss prevention (DLP) violations, accounted for nearly 40 percent of all violations. Until very recently, this problem has been largely untouched by traditional security vendors.

Many organizations face the challenge of leveraging existing on-premises DLP for the cloud in order to increase accuracy and efficiency and leverage their existing investment whenever possible. However, backhauling all cloud data to your premises for inspection is not the right solution. Netskope Cloud DLP features the most elegant integration with on-premises DLP and incident management systems, performing a first pass of sensitive content discovery in the cloud for efficiency, and then directing suspected violations to organizations’ highly-tuned DLP solutions via secure ICAP.
