Sales of data loss prevention (DLP) tool Endpoint Protector could gain broader appeal as parent Netwrix reorganises its data and identity defences portfolio.
Netwrix has introduced tailored packages for six unified solutions targeting data and identity protection, including for DLP at the endpoint.
Jeff Warren, Netwrix’s chief product officer, suggested the move “accelerates time to value and flexible deployment options”.
In addition, total costs of ownership (TCO) can be lower.
“We believe this strategy will help customers improve their security posture and maximise return on their security investments,” Warren said.
Netwrix’s end-to-end data and identity security aims at reducing gaps in visibility and control.
The six new management packages target data security, directory, identities, identity threat detection and response, privileged access, and endpoints.
Endpoint management can include optimisation of endpoint configuration.
This strengthens defences by preventing data loss and addressing gaps not covered by traditional endpoint detection and response (EDR), extended detection and response (XDR), and mobile device management (MDM) solutions, Netwrix said.
Similarly, Endpoint Protector helps discover, monitor, and protect sensitive data across Windows, macOS, and Linux endpoints.
Where Endpoint Protector fits data and identity defences
Endpoint Protector by CoSoSys became Endpoint Protector by Netwrix in 2024.
“With this acquisition, Netwrix expands its endpoint offering to DLP,” the company said then.
“Endpoint Protector complements Netwrix’s modern data classification, access governance and endpoint management solutions.”
In particular, the solutions relate to the Identify and Protect functions of the NIST Cybersecurity Framework.
“As a result, organisations worldwide will be even better able to protect their critical data without sacrificing employee productivity,” the vendor said.
Also, with appropriate data security, organisations can more easily identify, classify and act on data to protect themselves from cybersecurity. At the same time, this can boost compliance.
Often, organisations need to identify, manage, and govern identities across hybrid environments.
