McAfee DLP Prevent
Enforce policies to protect your sensitive information
The more people share information electronically, the greater the likelihood that
someone will inadvertently or intentionally send sensitive data to an unauthorized
individual and put condential corporate data at risk. Information can leave the
company across many different channels—email, web, instant messaging (IM), or FTP.
Some messages or transactions are allowable but need to be encrypted to ensure
data privacy. Other types of communications are simply unacceptable at any time and
must be blocked. Enforcing the right policies at the right time is essential to ensuring
data security, regulatory compliance, and intellectual property protection.

Enforce Security Policies for Data in Motion
Across each department of every company,
individuals share data using multiple applications
and a variety of protocols. Guard against
inadvertent or intentional data loss by proactively
protecting sensitive information from leaving the
network and enforce correct business processes.
McAfee
®
Data Loss Prevention (DLP) Prevent
helps you enforce policies for information
leaving the network through email, webmail,
IM, wikis, blogs, portals, HTTP/HTTPS, and FTP
transfers by integrating with message transfer
agent (MTA) gateways using simple mail transfer
protocol (SMTP) or ICAP-compliant web proxies.
Upon encountering a policy violation, McAfee
DLP Prevent allows you to take a variety of
actions, including applying encryption, blocking,
redirecting, quarantining, and more—so you can
ensure compliance with regulations governing the
privacy of sensitive information and reduce the risk
of security threats.
Integrate with Web Proxies and MTAs for
Greater Protection
McAfee DLP Prevent integrates with web proxies
(using ICAP) and with MTAs (using X headers)
for the required action. Because it terminates
unauthorized transactions at the application layer
rather than simply dropping the TCP session,
which does nothing to modify application
behavior, McAfee DLP Prevent alerts the initiating
application that the transmission was denied
due to a policy breach. This ensures greater data
protection for your organization because McAfee
DLP Prevent learns what must be protected and
stops the application from attempting the same
behavior again.
Protect Known and Unknown Sensitive
Information
With the ability to classify more than 300 different
content types, McAfee DLP Prevent helps you
ensure that the security of the information you
know remains condential—Social Security
numbers, credit card numbers, and nancial
data—and learn what information or documents
require protection, such as highly complex
intellectual property. McAfee DLP Prevent includes
a wide range of built-in policies, ranging from
compliance to acceptable use to intellectual
property, enabling you to match entire and partial
documents to a comprehensive set of rules, so you
can protect all your sensitive information, both
known and unknown.
Customize Views and Incident Reports
Using the McAfee
®
ePolicy Orchestrator
®
(McAfee
ePO
™
) management console, you can customize
summary views of security incidents and
subsequent actions based on any two contextual
pivot points. List and detail views, as well as
summary views with trending, are available at your
ngertips. McAfee DLP Prevent also includes a
large number of pre-built reports, each of which
can be viewed, saved for later use, or scheduled
for periodic delivery.
