This article explores the expanded capabilities of Data Loss Prevention (DLP) systems, arguing that they can serve as more than just data leak safeguards. It delves into how DLP systems can be integrated with other security tools to enhance overall cybersecurity posture.
DLP systems are preventing data leaks. It’s a rule of thumb. But DLP can do more than just that, writes Sergio Bertoni, leading analyst at SearchInform.
Ability to seamlessly integrate with the company’s infrastructure at the level of operating system, DBMS level, software level, and level of other system, which are used in the company. For example, SearchInform Risk Monitor can be deployed on platforms based on Windows, Linux, and Mac operating systems. Moreover, the DLP system can work with different databases from MS SQL, Jatoba, Pangolin, to PostgreSQL. The system can be used in cloud-based infrastructure, hybrid, or on-premises platforms.
Support of universal data transfer technologies to allow the seamless integration with other systems and services. Usually, support of protocols such as REST API, SYSLOG/GEF, SMTPs, ICAP, ODBC is more than enough. Any connectivity issue can be easily solved – the Risk Monitor has a couple of dozen embedded integration technologies. They can be accessed directly from DLP’s GUI, without necessity of additional coding.
DCAP/DAG systems – DLP can be integrated with the DCAP system to enhance and speed up the search and management of sensitive data. IF the DLP system identifies a file marked by the DCAP system, it won’t spend time on file rereading. Thus, security policies could be applied immediately. Risk Monitor is able to read labels marked by DCAP systems such as MS Information Protection. Moreover, the DLP system is based on the same client as SearchInform FileAuditor.
SIEM/SOC systems – Risk Monitor can share data on system performance, reports, and incidents with SIEMs and SOCs of any type. Usually transfer is carried out with the use of SYSLOG/CEF messages, but data can be directly transferred to our SearchInform SIEM system. Moreover, Risk Monitor’s agent integrates bypassing OS; respectively, it is not limited by OS boundaries.
Moreover, Risk Monitor can be integrated with different business analytical systems, HR applications, accounting software, etc. But we will talk about it in another article.Integration of a DLP system with other cybersecurity tools is aimed at several goals. The most important are mutual data exchange, synchronization of security policies, and coordination of incident response measures.
