For a large company with lots of data it is a fantastic solution and much needed. This is probably not suited for very small organizations as it might be overkill. Organizations with lots of sensitive data such as PII, federal agencies or health care will greatly benefit from this product.

  • The DLP dictionary functions need to be expanded upon, such as matching all regex patterns with any phrases and vice versa. The only way to do this today is to create two dictionaries and then use an engine to combine them; however, this approach loses the ability to utilize proximity.
  • Regex does not support lookaheads.

Zscaler Data protection must be used in conjunction with other Zscaler tools where the others are stand alone. It is mainly the cost that drove us to look at Zscaler's product again, although, we do still use Proof point for DLP and email security

AccessPatrol by CurrentWare Screenshots

Screenshot of AccessPatrol's web console. This password-protected console is accessible to designated operators using a desktop or laptop that is connected to the LAN that the CurrentWare console is installed on.

All users and computers with CurrentWare Clients installed can be managed from the console, including offsite/remote workers.Screenshot of AccessPatrol's device permissions window. This is the list of devices that can be blocked with AccessPatrol, including removable storage devices such as USB flash drives, optical media, and floppy disks. AccessPatrol can also block WiFi, Printers/Scanners, and other peripheral devices.

If specific USB devices need to be allowed that can be whitelisted using the Allowed List. By design AccessPatrol does not block USB-based HID devices such as keyboards and mice; blocking USBs will still allow these devices to function as normal.Screenshot of AccessPatrol's USB activity dashboards provide aggregated and granular USB activity data at a glance including file operations and blocked vs allowed devicesScreenshot of AccessPatrol's Block File Transfers window.
