Why Choose Teramind for Cloud DLP

Monitor Cloud Data Movement from the Endpoint

While traditional cloud DLP solutions require complex integrations, our approach monitors cloud data loss prevention at the source – your endpoints. Track when employees upload sensitive data to cloud services, download confidential data, or attempt unauthorized data transfers through any browser or application.

Prevent Data Exfiltration to Unauthorized Cloud Services

Protect sensitive data from shadow IT and unauthorized cloud platforms. Our DLP solution detects and blocks attempts to upload financial data, personally identifiable information, or intellectual property to unapproved cloud services, preventing data breaches before they occur.

Behavioral Analytics for Cloud Security

Understand how your organization’s data flows to cloud environments. Our data loss prevention DLP uses machine learning to identify unusual patterns in cloud access, detecting insider threats and accidental data loss through behavioral analysis rather than just pattern matching.

What our Customers Say

FAQs

How does endpoint-based cloud DLP work differently from traditional cloud DLP?

Traditional cloud DLP solutions integrate directly with cloud services through APIs, while endpoint-based cloud data loss prevention monitors at the source - tracking when users interact with cloud platforms through browsers and applications. This approach provides visibility into all cloud services, not just those with API integrations. By monitoring data flows at the endpoint, organizations can protect sensitive data regardless of which cloud services employees use, including shadow IT applications.

What types of sensitive data can be protected from unauthorized cloud uploads?

Data loss prevention for cloud protects various data types including personally identifiable information (PII), financial data, intellectual property, health records, and confidential business information. The system uses multiple detection methods including pattern matching, exact data matching, and keyword detection to accurately identify sensitive information. Whether employees try to upload financial records, customer data, or company data to personal cloud storage, the DLP tools can detect and block these transfers.

How does behavioral analytics enhance cloud data protection?

Modern DLP solutions use machine learning and behavioral analytics to understand normal cloud usage patterns. This helps identify when employees deviate from typical behavior - such as suddenly downloading large amounts of enterprise data or accessing cloud services at unusual times. By tracking data movement patterns and user behavior, the system can detect both malicious insider threats and accidental data loss, reducing false positives while improving threat detection accuracy.

What are best practices for implementing cloud data loss prevention?

Successful cloud DLP implementation starts with data discovery to understand what sensitive information exists and how it flows to cloud environments. Organizations should classify sensitive data based on risk levels, implement role based access controls, and create clear data handling policies. Begin by monitoring cloud access patterns before enabling blocking, educate users about approved cloud services, and regularly review security configurations and access logs. This phased approach ensures data protection without disrupting operational efficiency.
