DLP Functionality

Data Loss Prevention (DLP) strategies are designed to protect sensitive data by identifying, monitoring, and preventing unauthorized data transfers. However, traditional DLP systems often struggle to keep up with the demands of modern, cloud-based environments, making them ineffective at securing data across distributed networks.

Zero Trust Data Loss Prevention

Data Loss Prevention Features

XQ’s Zero Trust Data Solution takes DLP to the next level by applying end-to-end zero knowledge encryption, context-aware access controls, and real-time data flow monitoring.

With XQ, organizations can protect sensitive information wherever it resides, ensure continuous compliance, and prevent data from falling into the wrong hands.

Zero Trust Data Record Level Encryption

Record-level encryption for Persistent Data Security

  • Challenge: Sensitive data is at risk during transmission, storage, and access. Traditional DLP systems that rely solely on network security measures often fail to protect data once it leaves the network or is shared externally.

  • XQ’s Impact: XQ’s solution applies record-level encryption to sensitive data, ensuring that it remains protected regardless of where it is stored or how it is shared. Data is encrypted with unique credentials at rest and in transit, and only authorized users with valid decryption keys can access it.

  • Result: Persistent protection for sensitive data, reducing the risk of loss or exposure, even when shared across cloud environments or external networks.

Zero Trust Data Transfer

Preventing Unauthorized Data Transfers

  • Challenge: Accidental or malicious sharing of sensitive data via email, cloud storage, or removable devices can lead to costly data breaches and regulatory violations.

  • XQ’s Impact: XQ’s DLP capabilities monitor data flows in real time, applying encryption and access controls to prevent unauthorized data transfers. The solution can block unauthorized sharing attempts or use encryption to secure sensitive data.

  • Result: Prevention of unauthorized data transfers, ensuring that sensitive information is protected even when shared with external parties.

Zero Trust Data Classification and Tagging

Data Classification and Tagging

  • Challenge: Organizations often have limited visibility into what data is sensitive or requires protection, making applying the right DLP policies difficult.

  • XQ’s Impact: XQ’s platform uses data classification and tagging to automatically label sensitive data based on its type (e.g., personally identifiable information (PII), healthcare records, financial data). Once classified, the platform applies DLP policies such as encryption, access control, and monitoring based on the data’s classification.

  • Result: Greater visibility and control over sensitive data, enabling organizations to protect it with tailored DLP policies proactively.

Zero Trist Data Endpoint Protection

Endpoint Protection and Data Monitoring

  • Challenge: Endpoints like laptops, smartphones, and removable drives are often the weakest link in an organization’s data security chain, leading to data loss through device theft, loss, or malware.

  • XQ’s Impact: XQ extends its DLP protections to endpoints, ensuring that sensitive data stored on or accessed through these devices is encrypted and monitored. Any attempts to access or transfer sensitive data from compromised devices is detected and blocked in real time.

  • Result: Enhanced protection for sensitive data across all endpoints, reducing the risk of data loss due to device theft or compromise.

Zero Trust Data Exfiltration Prevention

Detecting and Preventing Data Exfiltration

  • Challenge: Malicious insiders or external attackers often attempt to exfiltrate sensitive data from an organization, which can go undetected in traditional DLP systems.

  • XQ’s Impact: XQ’s DLP system monitors data exfiltration attempts by analyzing data flow and user behavior in real time. Unusual data access or transfer patterns are flagged, and automated security measures, such as blocking or encryption, are triggered to prevent data exfiltration.

  • Result: Early detection and prevention of data exfiltration, helping to protect against insider threats and external attacks.

Zero Trust Audit

Data Auditing and Compliance Reporting

  • Challenge: Organizations must demonstrate compliance with data protection regulations such as GDPR, HIPAA, Zero Trust and FISMA, but gathering the necessary data access logs and audit trails are time-consuming and difficult.

  • XQ’s Impact: XQ provides comprehensive data access auditing and logging, ensuring that every interaction with sensitive data is recorded and monitored. Detailed reports are generated for compliance audits, providing proof of adherence to data protection requirements.

  • Result: Simplified compliance reporting and audit preparation, reducing the burden of demonstrating compliance with data protection regulations.
