HERE’S THE CHALLENGE

Given the growing volume of data that you need to protect, understanding it dramatically simplifies your job by enabling you to focus on the data that matters. While automated classification provides a strong foundation, adding user input provides important additional context for the most accurate data visibility and organization.

HERE’S THE SOLUTION

Understanding where and how sensitive data is used drives more informed security decisions. Digital Guardian’s DLP leverages data classification to accurately enforce data protection policies. Adding user-based classification powered by Fortra augments the context and content based classification embedded in the Digital Guardian platform.
