This whitepaper highlights the challenges involved in protecting data in today's highly interconnected world and discusses two major technologies that are aimed at keeping data safe. Enterprises of all kinds need to protect valuable data, whether to comply with industry regulations or to guard intellectual capital. Unfortunately, it's all too easy - and common - for users to leak this data to outside parties, either accidentally or with malicious intent.

Secure Web gateways are network and application security products that provide a variety of security measures, including URL filtering, malicious code detection and filtering, and application controls for popular Web based applications. Data Leak Prevention or Data Loss Prevention (DLP) systems identify and protect confidential data, including both structured and unstructured data. By combining a secure Web gateway with a Data Leak Protection solution, enterprises can monitor network activity and data usage and prevent users from transmitting or copying data in violation of company policies or industry regulations.
