Technology Selection for Intranet Security

Information Leakage Prevention Management that focuses on Intranet security includes monitoring, auditing, encryption, and other technologies. There are both products that implement a single function and integrated solutions on the market, to implement information leakage prevention management, is it better for enterprises to build their own systems by purchasing Multiple Single-function products, or adopt the overall solution provided by the manufacturer?

We need to look at this issue in two ways. Some enterprises have just started out and do not have enough manpower and capabilities for system integration. Therefore, they tend to purchase a complete set of solutions. Some enterprises have a lot of manpower, in order to carefully select, purchase, and deploy various products, and form a set of solutions to collect the strengths of various products, which is also very common at present. The two methods have their own advantages and disadvantages. You can perform the operations based on the actual situation of the enterprise.

In addition, there are no very uniform standards in the industry in terms of device selection. Based on my experience, I will provide the following judgment factors for your reference in practical selection:

1)Functionality: the function of anti-leakage products must be able to work well in complex network environments, work environments, and complex conditions. It mainly determines whether it includes functions such as data leakage prevention, online behavior management, data usage, and application behavior audit;

2)Stability: The product can run stably in a big data environment or even an extreme environment without spof. In addition, it is necessary to ensure that the processing capacity throughput can cope with the network traffic pressure of enterprises, so as not to invalidate some or even all functions in a large-traffic environment;

3)Compatibility: products should be well and easily integrated into the current enterprise security system, rather than independent from the security system. For example, many Intranet security products are deployed on the client as the Agent. These products interact with the security server deployed on the server, these agents should not conflict or be incompatible with other software products on the user's computer, so as to avoid business failures due to the deployment of security products;

4)Auditability: provides powerful report generation functions, and presents the reports to administrators and auditors in a user-friendly GUI, because the data generated by Intranet security is massive, the report will greatly facilitate management.
