Protect the Data You Care About Most

With WatchGuard DLP, you get automatic inspection and protection of your data in motion, whether it is transferred via email, web, or FTP. WatchGuard DLP includes a predefined library of more than 200 rules for 18 countries, protecting your personally identifiable information (PII), financial data, healthcare information, and other confidential data.

Data Protection and Compliance Made Easy

From an intuitive management console, easily and quickly apply rule sets and choose to block or log flagged transmissions, as well as quarantine them for further review. You can also create custom rule sets, set exceptions for specific users and groups, and decide the action taken when data cannot be scanned, such as corrupted or password protected files. Set alarms for when a transmission is flagged to instantly stay on top of potential threats.
