Data loss prevention (DLP) is a set of cybersecurity tools and processes that prevent confidential data such as personally identifiable information (PII), intellectual property, credit card numbers, and databases from being leaked, deleted, or misused.

Large organizations and small financial institutions alike need data security measures such as a a DLP solution to ensure their own data and that of their customers is secured in accordance with compliance requirements and laws such as PCI DSS.

DLP tools work to detect and prevent sensitive data from leaving the network. To protect the confidentiality and security of data, DLP software stops employees from copying sensitive data to unauthorized USB drives and other data egress points,

The security policies defined by DLP software helps to prevent insiders from accidentally or maliciously sharing data that could put customers of financial services organizations at risk.

To do this, CurrentWare allows you to create group folders with separate policies. This feature is perfect for restricting employees while providing greater access for trusted administrators.

In terms of device control, you can also use the access code generator to temporarily grant access to all peripherals or use the device scheduler to automatically allow/block devices at specific times.

In terms of internet and application restriction, you can use the internet scheduler and app blocker scheduler to temporarily allow access to blocked websites and applications at specific times.

Yes. CurrentWare has the ability to prevent your employees from copying specific files to their storage devices. These file transfer restrictions can be configured based on the file name or file extension.
