Skyhigh Security
Skyhigh is best suited for notifying us of the bad services which are being run in the organization. It really reduces the time it takes for in-depth analysis of proxy logs. It is also helpful for notifying us of any abnormal activities performed by the users in the cloud apps. For example, if a user has left the company and then there was a huge amount of files downloaded from his drive, we may not have known. Here, Skyhigh helps by notifying us of anomaly-like data (high amounts of download and upload activities performed). This is one of the best scenarios I can say, where we see what actually is happening in the cloud drives for the organization. It also helps by notifying if there is any service or activity performed against any sort of compliance with its own mechanisms.

Pros
Fortra
  • Email data leaks - DLP software must prevent certain actions to work well. Let's say you try to copy and paste an SS # to an email, or upload sensitive data to your personal email account. Guardian Edge can prevent that, and then alert administrators that it happened
  • Unauthorized file copies - Guardian Edge can also prevent users from copying files from a sensitive restricted area to somewhere else where they might be able to more easily exfiltrate it. A good example would be from a company file share to a less secure server or their own home drive
  • Alerting Administrators of suspicious activities - Any time a user uploads a file to an upload service or personal email, it is logged and reported as an event to be reviewed. If it found nothing in scanning the data, it will still notify you that it happened so you can review it yourself to confirm it wasn't a false negative.

DG is the only DLP platform I've used at my current employer. I used it at my previous employer as well, and we ended up abandoning future deployments of it due to many problems caused by it, especially with web browsers. This was in 2015, rather than the 2018 version I used with my current employer, but I feel it still warrants mentioning. DG works great...when it works. When it doesn't, it's a disaster.

We felt like when we looked at at Netskope, Skyhigh had the most complete vision. They also have custom apps which I am not aware of other services being able to do
