Infinite Identities: Symantec announces DLP powered by Oracle IRM

Oracle IRM and Symantec DLP integration announced

Launching their latest release of data loss prevention (DLP), Symantec focused on the new functionality in version 10 allowing customers to directly leverage the benefits or Oracle IRM to protect their sensitive data.

Symantec is the leader in DLP technology and organizations world wide leverage their solution for discovery and monitoring of enterprise network traffic and perimeters to detect the flow of information that needs to be protected for privacy, compliance, or from competitors. When DLP detects something that is deemed confidential it can take some action upon it, typically this is in the form of blocking the information from continuing to be transmitted or removing it from the file servers.

However combining DLP with IRM means you don't have to restrict the end user or impede the business by blocking their attempts to collaborate. Instead you directly enable the organization to interact securely and teach best practices. Oracle IRM technology will encrypt and protect the document or email so that it can be shared. IRM ensures only authorized users have access and provides advanced security controls such as revocation to the information, even after it has left the control of your enterprise networks.

Oracle and Symantec have been working closely together over the past months to build an integration between Oracle IRM and DLP based on direct input from customers and implementation partners. The combined solution offers the most innovative, use-case driven security solution of any IRM and DLP combination.

Oracle IRM is the leading rights management solution for enterprise-scale document and email security and Oracle is the leader in Enterprise Identity & Access Management according to Gartner, Burton and Forrester. Combining this innovative technology and thought leaders for Access Management and Content Security means customers can now have rich monitoring and detection capabilities.

Instead of blocking attempts to share valuable data, this solution allows it to happen securely. We first demonstrated this capability at Oracle Open World and if you were not able to attend, we've uploaded some video demonstrations to our YouTube channel.
