I have repeatedly argued in our blog about where is information security industry and, in particular, DLP-solutions - both in Europe and globally. Subject is perhaps almost inexhaustible, so I will continue her current post.
It is no secret that today everything is going in the "cloud." Most antivirus companies working to create "cloud solutions" that will shift the main burden of the detection and elimination of harmful software on a remote server antivirus software manufacturer. Such decisions will relieve the user workstations and corporate servers. But the most important advantage of the implementation of such decisions is that the user in a matter of seconds can get access to the latest databases. In this update databases are much faster, the efficiency remains at a consistently high level, with minimum cost to the user.
Virtually any IT market there are companies that offer their customers cloud solutions. But they will inevitably face technology with all its benefits have a serious drawback: they are overwhelmed Corporate Internet channel. That is why, I think, Cloud DLP - matter more than the distant future. Imagine the amount of traffic faced by DLP'shka even a relatively small company with three or four dozen workstations, - when the company will be quite thick channel to transfer it all to the server to receive within a reasonable time from the server reply whether the transmitted information is confidential or not.
Therefore, no matter what the IB system or went into the "cloud", I'm afraid, DLP-solutions will be the last to catch up to. What do you think about this?
