Data Loss Prevention (DLP)
Symantec Data Loss Prevention Solution
Napatech SmartNICs
Accelerating Symantec DLP with Napatech SmartNICs to unleash high-speed data protection.
Broadcom Symantec provides a range of enterprise cybersecurity solutions designed to protect organizations from cyber threats, secure sensitive data, and ensure compliance. After Broadcom acquired Symantec’s enterprise security division, it continued to develop and integrate its security technologies under the Symantec Enterprise brand.
Symantec Data Loss Prevention (DLP)
Symantec Data Loss Prevention (DLP) is a cybersecurity solution designed to help organizations prevent data breaches and protect sensitive information from unauthorized access, loss, or theft. It provides visibility and control over data movement across endpoints, networks, cloud applications, and storage environments.
By integrating Symantec DLP with Napatech SmartNICs, enterprises gain a high-speed, scalable, and cost-effective solution for real-time data loss prevention. This ensures stronger data security, compliance, and network efficiency—critical for protecting sensitive information in modern, high-throughput environments.
High-Speed Packet Processing for Real-Time DLP
Napatech SmartNICs accelerate packet capture and inspection, enabling Symantec DLP to analyze network traffic in real time without performance bottlenecks. Reduces latency and ensures high-speed data loss prevention even in 10G, 40G, and 100G networks.
Increased Scalability Efficiency
Napatech SmartNICs handle data inspection at the hardware level, offloads data processing from the CPU, freeing up system resources for DLP policy enforcement and analytics. Supports high-throughput networks, making Symantec DLP more effective in data centers, financial institutions, and cloud environments.
Enhanced Data Visibility and Threat Detection
Napatech SmartNICs provide lossless packet capture, ensuring that no data packets are missed when monitoring network activity. Improves Symantec DLP’s ability to detect unauthorized data transfers, insider threats, and policy violations.
Stronger Compliance and Risk Management
Ensures regulatory compliance (GDPR, HIPAA, PCI-DSS) by accurately detecting and preventing sensitive data leaks at high speeds. Reduces Data Exposure Risks: Minimizes accidental or malicious data exfiltration in high-speed network environments.
Cost Savings and Resource Optimization
Offloading packet processing to Napatech SmartNICs minimizes the need for expensive CPU upgrades and additional hardware. Enhances existing Symantec DLP deployments without requiring costly hardware upgrades.
Optimized for Cloud and Hybrid Environments
Napatech SmartNICs helps Symantec DLP efficiently inspect east-west traffic within cloud and hybrid architectures and enhances visibility into encrypted traffic without degrading network performance.
Customer use case: Gigabit performance gain for Symantec DLP
Challenge
A major US medical firm acutely needed to prevent leakage of sensitive patient data. But as their outbound traffic had exceeded the scope of their standard server deployment, Symantec DLP could not perform to its full potential.
Solution
By simply adding Napatech SmartNIC software and hardware to their existing infrastructure, Napatech enhanced the firm’s DLP and ensured optimal performance, even under ultra-highspeed conditions.
Benefits
- Symantec DLP at 4 x 900 Mbps
- Ease of deployment
- Low upgrade expenditures
- Fast ROI
