Palo Alto is rolling out a cloud service that promises to protect the highly distributed data in contemporary enterprises.<\/p>\n

The cloud service — Enterprise Data Loss Prevention (DLP) \u2013 will help prevent data breaches by automatically identifying confidential intellectual property and personally identifiable information across the enterprise, Palo Alto stated.<\/p>\n

Data breaches are a huge and growing problem worldwide, but most of the current DLP systems were only designed to help global-scale organizations that have huge data protection budgets and staffs.  Legacy and point solutions are not accessible, appropriate or effective for many of the companies that need them, said Anand Oswal, senior vice president and general manager with Palo Alto Networks.<\/p>\n

By using a simplified cloud service Palo Alto aims to change that notion. The company said Enterprise DLP can detect sensitive content by tapping into existing control points, including Palo Alto Networks Next-Generation Firewalls, VM-Series, Prisma Access, Prisma Cloud, and Prisma SaaS and using a machine learning-based data classification system to spot data patterns.<\/p>\n

Palo Alto says the system can discover sensitive data; detect and address broken business process, for example, and HR system sharing unencrypted data with an unapproved external vendor or send up and alert when a user is sending PCI data.  In addition the system can quarantine sensitive files exposed on cloud storage, Palo Alto stated.<\/p>\n

The service lets customers define data protection policies and configurations once and apply them to every network location and cloud where an organization has data. Oswal stated.  This also makes it easy for security teams to deploy DLP when organizations add new users or branch offices.<\/p>\n
