In a cloud-first world, data breaches continue to pose significant threats, despite stringent regulations like GDPR. Traditional security measures are no longer sufficient as remote work and cloud apps introduce new blind spots, increasing the risk of data loss.

Zscaler Cloud DLP addresses these challenges by providing comprehensive data protection across all users and locations through full inline SSL inspection.

Data Protection Challenges

As organizations shift to digital transformation, traditional network-based security measures lose effectiveness. Remote users accessing cloud apps directly create blind spots, making it challenging to maintain visibility and control over critical data. With 95% of web traffic encrypted, inspecting SSL traffic becomes essential yet difficult due to legacy appliances’ capacity and cost constraints.

Protect Your Data with Zscaler Cloud DLP

Zscaler Cloud DLP, part of the Zero Trust Exchange platform, offers a cloud-based solution that provides consistent protection and visibility across all users. It ensures that sensitive data remains secure even when users are off network by inspecting all traffic, including encrypted SSL traffic. This approach helps eliminate blind spots and comply with regulatory mandates.

Key Benefits of Zscaler Cloud DLP

Consistent Data Protection and Full SSL Inspection

• Provides identical protection to all users and branches.
• Monitors every byte in line with full SSL inspection, without capacity limits.
• Utilizes advanced controls like exact data match (EDM) to minimize false positives.

 Full Integration for Better Protection

• Integrates web security, threat prevention, and CASB capabilities.
• Simplifies administration with a unified management console.
• Seamlessly integrates with SIEM and third-party DLP solutions.

 Complete Visibility and Control

• Extends visibility to off-network users and discovers cloud apps.
• Controls data flow to shadow IT and unsanctioned apps with granular policies.
• Provides real-time log forwarding for quicker incident analysis and remediation.

 Compliance and Data Privacy

• Ensures compliance with mandates like PCI DSS, HIPAA, and GDPR.
• Offers instant security and risk assessment reporting from anywhere.
• Integrates with existing governance, risk, and compliance workflows.

 Simplified Deployment and Architecture

• Deploys data loss prevention in minutes without altering network architecture.
• Simplifies policy creation and administration with integrated workflows.
• Reduces network complexity by enabling direct-to-cloud connections.

 Reduced Cost and Complexity

• Eliminates the need for multiple point products.
• Removes inspection capacity planning with a user-based subscription model.
• Lowers total cost of ownership by optimizing MPLS back-hauling.

Advanced Features

• Content Matching: Detects specific keywords, patterns, and identifiers.
• Indexed Document Matching (IDM): Automatically secures key documents.
• Optical Character Recognition (OCR): Protects sensitive data in images.
• Machine Learning-Based Matching: Identifies records without prior fingerprinting.
• File Type Control: Detects and blocks specified file types.
• Granular Policy: Targets users, groups, locations, destinations, and content types.
• ICAP Forwarding: Sends data to existing DLP solutions.
• Contextual Reporting: Provides customized reports and notifications.
• Real-Time Log Feeds: Streams log events to an external SIEM.
• Out-of-Band DLP: Uses Zscaler CASB for cloud data at rest.

Wrap Up

Zscaler Cloud DLP is a powerful solution for organizations seeking to close data protection gaps in a cloud-first environment.

By offering comprehensive protection, full SSL inspection, and seamless integration with existing security frameworks, Zscaler Cloud DLP ensures that sensitive data remains secure, compliant, and under control, regardless of where users are located.
