We've got interesting results and observations that will help you decide if DLP fits your risk management strategy, and if so, which vendors you should be talking to.
Founded in late 2004 by the same team that built SonicWall, Code Green had initial success by aiming at banks and financial institutions. Now the regulatory climate has accelerated the company's expansion into health care, retail and other sectors where robust DLP is required to ensure compliance, protecting privacy and intellectual property.
Our Rolling Review seeks to evaluate vendor DLP solutions in many areas, including endpoint protection, data discovery, reporting, threat detection and response, range of communication channels that can be protected, along with pricing and ease of management. The CI 1500 performed well in many areas and not so well in others.
The appliance is a rebranded Dell PowerEdge server running a modified version of Red Hat Linux Enterprise under the hood. It ships with eight Ethernet interfaces that serve a multitude of capabilities, including interfaces for mirrored packet analysis, messaging analysis, ICAP redirection and device management. The appliance itself is relatively simple to set up--all that's required is a little work at the Linux console to get your management network interface running, after which device management is Web-enabled.
A quick look at the management GUI reveals Code Green's emphasis on robust pattern matching as critical data traverses the LAN/WAN via SMTP, HTTP/S, FTP and other TCP protocols. Out of the box, the CI 1500 contains an impressive array of patterns and file filters that can be used to detect leaks, including filters for credit card and Social Security numbers, stock ticker symbols, and unique filters that can determine who's shopping their credentials out to your competitors.
