COMPLIMENTARY ADVISORY REPORT

Data-centric Access Control

| Sep 30, 2009 | Enterprise Security | Advisory Report

| Analyst: Andrew Braunberg, Research Director, Enterprise Networks and Security

Data loss prevention is a relatively small but strategic security market segment. Data loss prevention (DLP) is a key component in enabling a broader shift to data-centric security, which would place the protection of sensitive data at the center of security strategies. This has always been a key goal of security strategies and the shift is more in means than ends. Several interesting integration trends are currently emerging in the DLP market with the relatively recent interest from identity management and information rights management vendors to integrate data discovery and classification features into their suites.

The goal of delivering data discovery, classification, and control on top of fine-grained entitlements management or digital rights management should resonate well with enterprise customers as they begin to consider the need for more comprehensive risk management solutions. This tracks well with the more general trend of enterprise customers to work with a smaller number of more strategic security providers. DLP technology will find many homes, and we are already beginning to see the technology integrated into multiple suites (e.g., threat management suites), but the integration with identity management and rights management products is perhaps the most exciting because of the functionality it enables and the vendors it brings more directly into the security markets.
