Digital Guardian

Digital Guardian (now part of Fortra) is a data-centric security platform that provides enterprise data loss prevention with deep endpoint visibility. It combines endpoint DLP, network DLP, and cloud DLP with granular visibility into data usage, movement, and user activity. Digital Guardian's data-centric approach focuses on protecting the data itself rather than securing the perimeter, tracking how sensitive data is created, accessed, modified, and transmitted across the organization.
