Data loss prevention (DLP) agent
Identify and prevent the loss of sensitive data with rule-based events
One-click DLP agent with ICAP support
Safeguard sensitive data at rest
Configure DLP rules using pre-built tools or your own regular expressions. JSCAPE MFT Server’s DLP events can be configured in just a few clicks, and can integrate with external DLP tools as well. You can also run rules at the directory, user or group level, depending on your needs.
Internet Content Adaptation Protocol (ICAP) Integration
Easily set up JSCAPE MFT Server to act as a DLP client for your ICAP server with our built-in ICAP connection tool. Customize your response status, headers and response body searches to ensure no inbound or outbound file avoids your data security policy.
DLP event logging
JSCAPE MFT Server supports logging and capture of DLP events through the use of triggers set to fire when an event matches one of your DLP rules. This too enables custom creation and alerting based on criteria such as user, directory accessed, policy or severity.
Data loss prevention agent FAQs
What is data loss prevention?
Data loss prevention agents like JSCAPE MFT Server are designed to detect and prevent potential breaches and data theft by actively monitoring your files at all stages: while they’re in use, in motion or at rest. A wide variety of DLP tools and applications exist, which include network security tools, antivirus software, security suites that search for abnormal access patterns and DLP-specific systems that use specific rules to enforce more strict access control.
What is data at rest? Why is it a security concern?
Data at rest refers to any information that has been saved to your organization’s storage system, regardless of location. Because this data is not “in use” or “in transit”, during which it will typically be encrypted, it may be more vulnerable in a scenario where a malicious actor gains access to your network.
What is Internet Content Adaptation Protocol (ICAP) server?
ICAP is a transport protocol that allows administrators to send specific HTTP traffic to another service that can modify the content of that traffic. When used in a data loss prevention context, ICAP servers are typically set up to filter inbound traffic and monitor for any content or data policy violations before allowing the traffic to proceed. If a violation is detected, the ICAP server can block, change or warn about the content depending on your organization’s requirements.
