DLP goes 'lite'

Lite might be right for cheap beer, but for data leak prevention technologies?

"Gateway device providers have begun preaching that the DLP capabilities in their security appliances can provide a much simpler approach to the same problem," Matt Hines writes in Is DLP 'lite' heavy enough?

While experts debate the extent to which the idea will catch on with customers, the appliance makers are already cashing in on demand for stripped-down DLP tools, Hines explains.

"Perhaps the biggest opportunity that messaging gateway vendors have to sell the concept is the huge effort that traditional DLP tools require in creating policies around data usage, proponents maintain."
