Check Point Endpoint Media Encryption and Port Protection (Pointsec) vs. Trustwave MailMarshal

Check Point Endpoint Media Encryption and Port Protection (Pointsec) is well suited for Microsoft Windows environment. While, for MacOS it is less appropriate.

Incentivized

In a medium company, it is suited since the cost can be high for a smaller one.

I think there are better and more complete products for companies with higher volume or levels of confidentiality. While it is a good product, today there are several that exceed it in quality and functionality.

• The product works with Windows, Linux, and OS X.
• The management of Pointsec has really become very simple and centralized for all IT to handle with ease.
• Preboot encryption keys in the form of a password, by inserting a USB drive containing the key and/or using a one-time password generating device such as an RSA token.

• By having the physical appliance, it is more granular the control that is had of the users, which also accelerates the speed of detection of threats.
• The few options of DLP that it has are very useful when filtering sensitive data, but I stress "few".
• The interface is intuitive, but for more advanced options, it requires a higher than average knowledge of these systems.

Incentivized

• Types of devices to control needs to be added like McAfee and GFI Endpoint Security.
• Device whitelisting needs more granular level like by Vendor ID, Serial Number, Device ID etc.
• Device Control and Media Protection on MacOS to be added.

Incentivized

• I know it is not a DLP since there is another specific product for it, but they could do it just a little easier for the average user.
• An intuitive interface in a broader aspect, not only in the basic functions.
• The option only in the cloud is good, but only the appliance offers all the functionalities.

Unfortunately all these products are better in almost all aspects. It is not to discredit the Trustwave, but they have much to improve in this area.
