How it works

The workstation — an endpoint with which the user interacts. Employees work with crucial business data, go on-line, receive and send e-mail, direct documents to the printer, connect removable mediums. Safetica DLP is unrolled by the agent (Safetica Endpoint Client) on workstations and keeps in regular contact with them via the server (Service Management Safetica). The server creates the database of activity of employees at workstations and extends security policies to each device or the user.
