Do You Find Yourself Asking…

  • How does Data Loss Prevention (DLP) Work?
  • What is a Data Loss Prevention (DLP) strategy?
  • How does the data loss prevention software work in SolarWinds Access Rights Manager (ARM)?
  • Related Features and Tools

DLP works through a combination of best practices in planning and security. By monitoring, detecting, and blocking, DLP capability helps identify and prevent potential data breaches and unauthorized transmissions. This can occur while sensitive data is in motion (DLP tools monitor network traffic), at rest (DLP facilities monitor data storage volumes), or in use DLP (capabilities monitor endpoint actions). Using DLP's ability to monitor all three elements proactively, users can help prevent unauthorized access or the transfer of protected information. 


Although data loss and leakage can lead to data breaches, they're technically two different categories of events. With data loss, the data is gone and may not be recoverable or accurate following a misplaced or stolen flash drive or a ransomware attack. On the other hand, data leakage involves sensitive information moving between critical systems—usually systems of records. Data leakages can occur when data flows into complementary systems without the same level of data protection. 


Data loss prevention works to detect and prevent sensitive data from leaving the network, and data leakage prevention ensures similar data protection levels are applied across multiple systems where data may be transmitted.

DLP strategy allows users to monitor, detect, and receive alerts on activity, especially for sensitive data. This activity may match data exfiltration patterns, specifically emphasizing activity indicative of unauthorized data access. DLP capability provides critical visibility into many potentially problematic factors, from insecure configurations and potential system compromises to abnormal activity and insider threats. This visibility also helps reduce incident response time and helps with compliance.  


DLP can monitor changes made in Active Directory and the file server, focusing on user-initiated events and recording security-related activity across the network. Malicious activity is associated with higher occurrences of these events, mainly if they occur in unusually short periods. DLP tools allow users to track changes across the network.  


Since DLP tools proactively send alerts if they detect this activity, they’re often the fastest way to stay abreast of unauthorized changes. DLP's capability also provides reporting to meet compliance and auditing requirements, allowing you to identify areas of weakness and anomalies for forensics and incident response. 

SolarWinds® Access Rights Manager (ARM) helps ensure proper cloud security and on-premises data security standards. It helps address vulnerabilities and prevent insider threats by giving you insight into user permissions, settings, and activity across your repositories.

 

Unlike purely content-scanning DLP solutions or complex Cloud DLP tools that rely solely on machine learning, ARM focuses on the root cause of data leaks: excessive access. Its broad range of use cases allows users to automate access controls, analysis, and enforcement processes using scalable templates and workflows. This is essential for remediation and maintaining regulatory compliance with mandates like HIPAA and GDPR.

 

ARM provides critical visibility into cloud services, SaaS applications, and Active Directory by monitoring and auditing changes based on who made the changes and when. Paired with a real-time notifications system, users can stay updated regarding data exposure or changes made to cloud storage and Windows file servers. By securing data at rest, ARM complements tools that monitor data in motion. It helps prevent internal security threats by analyzing privileged user credentials and group memberships to protect types of data ranging from intellectual property to Personally Identifiable Information (PII) and credit card numbers.

 

ARM's easy-to-use dashboard and API capabilities support Data Security Posture Management. They visualize file server permissions to provide quick insights into changes made to sensitive data across cloud platforms.
