KnowBe4 Reviews, Ratings & Features 2026 | Gartner Peer Insights

Gartner defines data loss prevention (DLP) as a technical control designed to prevent data loss in order to comply with personal data regulations, prevent unintended disclosure, minimize insider risk and ensure that sensitive data is not overly accessible. DLP controls are typically applied to reduce the data risk for two states of unstructured data: data at rest and data in motion. Depending on the state of the data, DLP applies detective, preventive or corrective controls, including alerting, quarantining, blocking, redaction or access restriction.

works well but sometimes its hard for the receiver to open documents without Egress installed

CYBER DEGREE APPRENTICE

Egress has detailed and granular rule configuration allowing for very specific coverage to fit out exact needs. The prevent dashboard has a large array of detailed information and allows us to monitor and check for data loss across the company.

Defend also works very well, allowing for easy monitoring of incoming dangerous emails. The abuse mailbox is particularly good, reducing the amount of time that we previously had to spend analysing user reported emails.
