Acronis Unleashes DLP Solution
At RSA, Acronis debuted a new advanced data loss prevention (DLP) pack for Acronis Cyber Protect Cloud. The solution shields MSPs and businesses of all sizes from data leakage.
In addition, the solution does not require months for deployment or skilled teams to maintain it.
The integration of behavioral-based DLP capabilities into the Acronis Cyber Protect Cloud platform is what extends its ability to deliver unified data protection, cybersecurity and management across systems, data and workloads regardless of their location. It offers a range of cyber protection capabilities that span the NIST cybersecurity framework, from identification to recovery, to ensure business continuity amid cybercriminals, insider risk threats or technology failure.
Candid Wuest is Acronis‘ vice president of cyber protection research.
“DLP is something that’s been around for awhile, but we’ve seen that many companies, definitely larger ones but also smaller, are struggling with it because it’s not so easy,” he said. “You need data classification. And it’s a process of what you want to do with it if you detect something. But on the other hand, we’ve seen insider threats taking off; more and more people are stealing data, be it ransomware groups, which are exfiltrating data, and also some system admins who might want to get cash on the side or steal data for their own benefit. So the problem is real, but the solution is not really good.”
Two years ago, Acronis acquired DeviceLock, which provided DLP software for enterprises and governments globally.
“We’ve shaped that feature,” Wuest said. “It’s an enterprise solution, but we changed it to what we call behavioral DLP because service providers don’t have a big security operations center (SOC) or security, orchestration, automation and response (SOAR) team of people to actually do all those manual checks. They want a solution that can automatically classify data and react to it with a base template for all those well-known and understood regulations.”
