Fortifying Federal Data: Zscaler’s Endpoint DLP Now in GovCloud

In an era marked by rapid digital transformation and escalating cyber threats, safeguarding sensitive and classified information is more critical than ever for federal agencies. The relentless evolution of cyber threats necessitates advanced data protection strategies to ensure national security and public trust. Today, we are excited to unveil the availability of our cutting-edge Endpoint Data Loss Prevention (DLP) solution in GovCloud, setting a new benchmark for data security within the federal sector.

Why Endpoint DLP Matters for Federal Agencies

Federal agencies are entrusted with safeguarding vast amounts of sensitive data, ranging from personally identifiable information (PII) to confidential government communications. The consequences of data breaches in the public sector can be severe, potentially compromising national security and eroding public trust. Endpoint DLP is a crucial tool in the fight against data loss, offering comprehensive protection by monitoring and controlling data at the endpoint level.

What is Endpoint DLP?

Endpoint DLP is a security technology designed to prevent unauthorized data transfers from endpoints such as laptop and desktop devices. It identifies and monitors sensitive data, enforcing policies to prevent data leakage or theft. By deploying Endpoint DLP, federal agencies can ensure that sensitive information remains protected, regardless of where it resides or how it is accessed.

Use Cases for Endpoint DLP in Federal Agencies

• Protection of Classified Information: Federal agencies often handle classified information that, if leaked, could have serious national security implications. Endpoint DLP helps prevent unauthorized sharing of classified documents, ensuring they remain secure.
• Compliance with Federal Regulations: Compliance with regulations such as FISMA, NIST, and CUI is critical for federal agencies. Endpoint DLP helps enforce compliance by monitoring and controlling the flow of sensitive data, ensuring it is handled according to regulatory requirements.
• Insider Threat Mitigation: Insider threats, whether malicious or accidental, pose a significant risk to federal agencies. Endpoint DLP detects and prevents unauthorized data transfers by insiders, protecting sensitive information from being leaked or stolen.
• Data Protection During Remote Work: The shift to remote work has increased the risk of data breaches. Endpoint DLP ensures that sensitive data remains protected even when accessed from remote locations, providing continuous security across all endpoints.
• Incident Response and Forensics: In the event of a data breach, Endpoint DLP provides detailed logs and reports, aiding in incident response and forensic investigations. This helps agencies quickly identify the source of the breach and take corrective action.

Benefits of Endpoint DLP in GovCloud

• Enhanced Security Posture: By leveraging Endpoint DLP, federal agencies can significantly enhance their security posture, protecting sensitive data from internal and external threats.
• Unified policy and visibility: With a centralized DLP engine, you get consistent, actionable visibility across endpoint, inline, and cloud.
• Faster incident management: Respond to incidents faster with workflow automation and in-depth dashboards and forensics.
• Lightweight agent: Endpoint DLP is a module in Zscaler Agent Zscaler Client Connector, reducing the number of agents required on your endpoint.
• Quick deployment:  Get up and running quickly by leveraging your existing Zscaler DLP policies and controls.
