Data Loss Prevention (DLP) is a file-level security solution that prevents unauthorized access to data on laptop clients. DLP includes the following features that can be used to secure sensitive data on laptops before and after a device goes missing:
-
Periodic Document Encryption
Periodic Document Encryption allows the administrator to configure certain files to be locked according to settings in the CommCell console. End-users can also use Periodic Document Encryption from the Web Console to protect documents on their laptops. If a laptop goes missing, files protected with Periodic Document Encryption can only be unlocked by the authorized user with a passkey. Data protection operations (backup, content indexing, deduplication) can continue to be performed on locked files. See Periodic Document Encryption.
-
Secure Erase
When enabled, Secure Erase allows the administrator to configure certain files to be remotely wiped and erased from a laptop when the laptop is missing or offline for more than a set number of days. Secure Erase can be configured from the CommCell console and is only available to administrators. See Secure Erase.
