ENHANCEMENTS TO ARMORBLOX ADVANCED DATA LOSS PREVENTION

Written by Spencer Colemere
Product Features / 12.14.22

Legacy DLP systems may support custom and  targeted policies, but organizations
and DLP admins are still buried, in the middle of hundreds of false positives.
The reason is simply due to legacy DLP tools lacking the contextual knowledge to
differentiate sensitive data from business critical data. The difference between
a 9-digit zoom meeting number and a 9-digit Social Security Number is small, but
the ability to distinguish the two is the difference between losing sensitive
data or blocking business critical emails. 

Legacy DLP tools look at keywords such as Zoom or SSN to provide the missing
context needed to make a determination of data type. If a keyword isn't found
within proximity of a 9-digit number it will result as a false-negative, meaning
it won't get flagged by DLP and will be left undetected. False negatives can be
more devastating to organizations than false positives because data is leaked.
Combating this requires organizations to loosen their rules to catch more, and
that results in high false positives creating a constant trade-off between false
positives or false negatives. 

Armorblox eliminated this needle in the haystack approach to DLP alerts and made
precise organization-specific data protection available to all customers when we
reimagined DLP with the addition of Armorblox Advanced Data Loss Prevention
product, announced March of this year. Now, with new enhancements, Armorblox
customers can receive powerful encryption and exception capabilities, without
sacrificing the precise data protection Armorblox customers know and love.


PROTECTION THROUGH CUSTOM POLICIES

Armorblox customers can create custom policies that leverage custom
identification and exceptions capabilities that all leverage NLU to provide
accurate context driven protection.

Not all organizations are created equally, nor is their data. Organizations
document, store, and share their data differently and require a custom policy to
meet these specific needs. Custom identification is used to detect the format
the data is stored and used. Exceptions are used to allow business to proceed as
normal by not blocking business critical emails, but still providing protection
from data loss.

Let’s take social security numbers as an example. The HR department may run into
situations where sending sensitive PII information, such as a SSN, is required
as part of normal business practices. For situations like this, custom policies
can be created to automatically detect the SSN and apply an exception so the
policy doesn’t block the email, but instead, will automatically encrypt emails
and attachments containing Social Security Numbers. For individuals not within
the HR department, the policy will automatically block all emails containing
SSNs.

Custom DLP Policies extend the breadth and depth of Armorbox data loss
prevention capabilities across all organization-specific data types. With these
enhancements to Armorblox Advanced Data Loss Prevention, customers can customize
the remediation actions across DLP incidents down to specific users or active
directory groups across the organization for all PII, PCI, and PHI data.


POWERFUL ENCRYPTION COUPLED WITH LANGUAGE-BASED DETECTIONS

Armorblox provides powerful encryption capabilities that utilizes NLU to monitor
and automatically protect against the authorized and unauthorized sending of
sensitive data. 

NLU provides Armorblox DLP detection to use the context of the email and what is
being communicated to determine if the email contains sensitive data. NLU
dissects the content of emails and attachments to understand the intent and
content of the communication. For example when a user sends a 9-digit number it
can determine the difference between a Zoom number and a SSN to accurately
detect the sensitive data. Based on this detection automated actions, such as
remediation, can be confidently and accurately applied to email communication.



Fig 1: List of all DLP Incidents and the automated remediation action Armorblox
took

From within the Armorblox dashboard, customers find a list of all DLP incidents,
and the associated users impacted and the Automatic Remediation Action taken by
Armorblox (see Fig 1). From here, customers can change the remediation action,
assess incidents that are pending review prior to taking an action, and view any
DLP incident in detail. 



Fig 2: Armorblox automatically encrypts outbound email communication that
violate DLP Policies to protect sensitive PHI data

Above we see the details of an example outbound email that Armorblox flagged as
a violation according to the Custom DLP Policy: Medical Record Number. Based on
the policy configured by DLP Admins, Armorblox identified the unauthorized
sharing of sensitive PHI information and automatically encrypted the sensitive
information included for all external recipients.

Armorblox’s enhanced encryption capabilities provide organizations the precise
data protection needed to protect sensitive and confidential data within the
email body or attachments from unauthorized exposure. Customizable exceptions
across all DLP policies prevent the delay of critical business workflows for
specific individuals with approved access to send sensitive data (PII, PCI,
PHI).
