PT Data Security

White Paper: DLP - Data Loss/Leak Prevention

This product is a tool that inventories the data accumulated in the company, automates their classification regardless of its presentation (relational, hierarchical or any other), determines the level of security of critical data and controls access rights to them. The client may not know where and how the data critical for him is stored - the system will independently find it, classify it and determine the level of security and access rights for the found data.

2024: PT Data Security Presentation

Positive Technologies is entering the data protection market. The vendor presented the MVP version of PT Data Security, a single solution for protecting data, regardless of its type and storage location, with the function of automated classification of information by level of significance. The company announced this on October 10, 2024.

Over the past few years, the storage and processing infrastructure in companies has evolved technologically and grown in volume. From isolated and loosely connected segments, it has evolved into a system with many unstructured and localized in different parts of elements with complex and constantly changing connections. Against this background, the solutions created earlier turn out to be ineffective and do not allow building a comprehensive security system, since each of them is designed to solve narrow tasks: one for database protection, the other for file storage protection, and the third for monitoring employee actions. This atomic approach is the reason for the weak points in the infrastructure that hackers use: for example, every second successful attack on organizations in the first half of 2024, according to a study by Positive Technologies, turned into a leak.

For most companies, previously collected and accumulated data, the volume of which can be calculated in petabytes, is one of the most valuable assets. Against the background of the increased interest of hackers in information, as well as the shortcomings of existing cybersecurity systems, the need for a fundamentally new solution has ripened. It should protect data in any form, wherever it is: in databases, file, object, corporate storage, in data lakes, on web portals. PT Data Security is just such a solution, "said Denis Korablev, Managing Director, Product Director of Positive Technologies.

PT Data Security enables real-time and minimal operator participation to monitor infrastructure health and identify critical elements that contain the most business-sensitive data, as well as analyze the current access and access matrix. As a result, the company gets an idea of ​ ​ the real state and level of security of the data infrastructure, which helps to prevent information theft in time and complicates the ability for attackers to be present in the infrastructure for a long time and imperceptibly.

An important function of PT Data Security is automated classification of data, regardless of the form in which they are presented. Within the solution, a set of industry-specific policies and models to search for different classes of critical information. Through a unified approach, PT Data Security aggregates information in one place. Business may not think about how and in what format it is stored, but immediately focus on protection, - said Viktor Ryzhkov, head of business development for data protection at Positive Technologies.

According to the CSR, the domestic data protection market is the fastest growing segment in the industry. In 2023, it increased by 93% of the indicator a year earlier and reached 23 billion rubles, accounting for 12% of the total information security market. At the same time, Positive Technologies experts note that the segment's share is still low and its potential has not been disclosed. They attribute this primarily to the lack of products that effectively address data security issues. With the advent of such tools, the share of the data protection segment may approach half of the total information security market, which, according to the CSR, will amount to 715 billion rubles by 2028. Positive Technologies plans to occupy at least 50% of the data protection segment by 2028.
