New Application Store Offering Relieves Data Loss Prevention Deployment Pain Points for Messaging and Information Security Teams
Sendmail, Inc., the leading provider of message processing appliances and applications for enterprise messaging infrastructures, today announced the new Sentrion Connect for Symantec Data Loss Prevention (DLP) App, a unique message processing application to help enterprises protect email messages containing sensitive and private data from leaving the organization, or from being delivered to inappropriate recipients. The Sentrion Connect for Symantec DLP App greatly simplifies the integration set-up between the Symantec DLP Network Prevent for Email and the Sendmail Sentrion® Message Processor, providing pre-defined policies, reports and configurations.
"Since the initial launch of our Application Store in January, Sendmail customers are increasingly adding new messaging applications to their Sentrions and customizing their email architecture to reduce OPEX costs by eliminating redundant systems and incompatible products," said Stephanie Nevin, vice president of marketing, Sendmail. "By coupling Symantec DLP products with the Sentrion, we''re giving customers the ability to minimize impact to the messaging architecture by retaining core functions of inline email routing, enforcement, and delivery within the Sentrion, while at the same time, leveraging a single, unified DLP policy engine to inspect and modify email messages for enforcement based on the organization''s security policy. It''s a win-win solution for both messaging and information security teams in one, simple application."
"Our customers want to be able to integrate their Data Loss Prevention systems with their messaging infrastructure," said Ben Yang, senior product manager, Symantec. "This new App simplifies the configuration of Sendmail Sentrion with Symantec Data Loss Prevention, making it easier for enterprise IT messaging teams to deploy DLP."
How it works
Symantec Data Loss Prevention delivers a proven, content-aware solution to discover, monitor, protect and manage confidential data wherever it is stored or used. The solution allows companies to measurably reduce their risk of a data breach, demonstrate regulatory compliance and safeguard customer privacy, brand equity and intellectual property.
The Sentrion Connect for Symantec DLP App allows IT messaging teams to easily set-up email policies based on criteria provided by the Information Security Group. All outbound email is first processed by Sentrion Message Processors for initial content scanning. Sentrion then routes the messages to Symantec DLP Network Prevent for Email for deep content inspection. If a message contains sensitive information and violates security policy, Symantec DLP modifies the header with instructions. The message is then routed back to Sentrion. If the email is un-modified, it continues downstream to its recipient. If it has been modified, Sentrion takes a number of actions to secure the message including: quarantining, encrypting, adding disclaimers, adding and removing recipients, routing the message, and more.
