Gartner defines mobile data protection (MDP) products and services as software security methods that enforce confidentiality policies by encrypting data, and then defending access to that encrypted data on the mass storage systems of end-user workstations. These storage systems include the primary boot drive of a workstation, additional system drives and removable devices used for portability. Storage technologies affected by MDP include magnetic hard-disk drives (HDDs), solid-state drives (SSDs), self-encrypting drives (SEDs), flash drives and optical media. Several methods allow MDP products to delegate all or part of the encryption process to be accomplished by hardware elements, including the CPU and drive controller, and to native capabilities in the OS. Some vendors also have protection capabilities for network storage, and a few also support cloud-based storage environments as an extension to the desktop.

Mobile Data Protection Solutions

The market for DLP technology includes offerings that provide visibility into data usage and movement across an organization. It also involves dynamic enforcement of security policies based on content and context for data in use, data in motion and data at rest. DLP technology seeks to address data-related threats, including the risks of inadvertent or accidental data loss and the exposure of sensitive data, using monitoring, alerting, warning, blocking, quarantining and other remediation features.

Data Loss Prevention

The Endpoint Detection and Response Solutions (EDR) market is defined as solutions that record and store endpoint-system-level behaviors, use various data analytics techniques to detect suspicious system behavior, provide contextual information, block malicious activity, and provide remediation suggestions to restore affected systems.
EDR solutions must provide the following four primary capabilities:
•	Detect security incidents
•	Contain the incident at the endpoint
•	Investigate security incidents
•	Provide remediation guidance

Senior Information Security Analyst

Very poor support during implementation.  Policies and rules had to be tested and corrected.  There are a lot of compatibility issues with DG.  

Solution Engineer

Replaced an existing data loss prevention (DLP) tool that we had implemented that was nearing end of life for support.  Was a like-for-like installation for the first phase in regards to DLP policy implementation.  Overall pleased with the implementation as it was fairly easy and straightforward to implement.  Agents installed also improved performance on workstations over previously installed agents.

Project Manager

Great sell support and good product, very intuitive.

IT Security

This is a managed services where the vendor is managing all the support related incident, my role would be the coordinator.
However the Vendor support is  not that good, therefore I need to spend time to learn and do first and second level troubleshooting.

Their Technical Account Manager has assured us that they are expanding to serve us better (we are a global company with 90 facilities in 23 countries). Will trust them again on this.

Security Analyst 

The product is very strong, stronger than I think the vendor even realizes. They need to improve their documentation and transparency with clients, Lots of slipped deadlines.

IT Security Analyst

Overall our experience has been very positive. We are currently in the rollout process, more specifically in the whitelisting phase. There were a few issues with the integration inside our VM environment but our physical and server rollout was smooth.

Director of Enterprise Security

Great product, easy to install, the MSP support model offered was perfect for my company. The support was incredibly responsive, knowledgeable and professional.

We have had multiple instances where we have encountered varing levels of performance issues up to and including blue screens where the only way we have found to avoid them is to unstall the product entirely. 

I met Digital Guardian representatives today. I am a summer intern for EPA and we are working to get a contract complete with them to begin.
