nexTier Networks Upgrades Compliance Enforcer
Data leak prevention solution sees new auto-classification, multitier workflow customization, and monitoring capabilities.
Data protection innovator nexTier Networks has upgraded its Compliance Enforcer 3.0 solution.
The new version of the Compliance Enforcer appliances leverage nexTier’s DLP algorithms with semantic analysis to provide end-users with auto-classification features, the ability to customize multi-tier workflow, and monitoring capabilities for Web 2.0 applications with HTTP:POST support and analysis.
Because most SMBs access information from a single end-point, as their networks expand, encryption technologies are “no longer a viable protection option for their data,” states nexTier in a press release to EH Publishing. The updated Compliance Enforcer appliances, the company says, deliver data security “above and beyond what’s available through encryption.”
“We continue to enhance and add new features to Compliance Enforcer to ensure our customers are getting the most complete and robust data loss prevention solution on the market,” says nexTier Networks CEO and founder Tarique Mustafa. “Compliance Enforcer 3.0 builds on the success of our unique DLP technology with advanced domain specific ontology definition features and tools, a fully customizable sophisticated multi-tier workflow, Web 2.0 application monitoring and analysis, and virtualization capabilities so our customers can integrate our solution for MSSP and SaaS deployments.”
As a major upgrade to the Compliance Enforcer platform, Compliance Enforcer 3.0 is now equipped with advanced features and tools for domain specific ontology definition through its rich graphical user interface. The new features and tools enable modification and enhancement to the out-of-the-box ontology. This enables automation of Real-Time Data Classification, eliminating the need for pre-tagging.
In addition, the latest Compliance Enforcer version is outfitted with a Multi-Tier Workflow that can be customized to include various DLP authorities. With virtualization becoming increasingly important, the latest version of Compliance Enforcer is also packaged as virtual DLP servers for MSSP- and SaaS-based deployment. The solution comes with a packaged DLP Agent for end-host monitoring.
New capabilities around Web 2.0 applications monitoring gives enterprises tighter control over the web-based channels that may cause data leak problems. Compliance Enforcer 3.0 does monitoring and analysis of Web 2.0 applications that use both HTTP and HTTPS protocols. Additional protocols, messaging servers, and improved support for encryption have also been added to the solution.
Other enhancements that will benefit end-customers include additional support for more file types and formats, support for multiple browsers and clients using MIME file formats, file attachment and secure TLS support for instant messaging, and enhancements to the solution’s advanced security features (including NTLM and TSL enhancements for SMTP, and SSL enhancements for XMPP).
