Windstream Enterprise launched new Data Loss Prevention (DLP) services, powered by Cato Networks, to help businesses keep and store their data safely.
Windstream Enterprise SASE customers gain loss prevention for more than 350 data types covering globally sensitive information (e.g., credit card numbers) as well as county-specific information (e.g., US postal codes) covering more than 30 countries. Using the WE Connect portal to block, alert or allow actions based on pre-defined policies, customers can also personalize their dashboards to provide complete visibility with rich data and insights to identify trends and mitigate threats.
Windstream’s DLP works in conjunction with another key component of SASE, Cloud Access Security Broker (CASB), which provides visibility between users and an organization’s cloud services to apply security policies as they access cloud-based resources. Through a series of tools and processes, DLP works to ensure that sensitive data is not lost, misused or accessed by unauthorized users.

90% of the world’s data has been created in the last two years alone, which means protecting it has become one of the biggest challenges an enterprise can face. Even so, many businesses lack the necessary means to properly protect their data. Recent findings show that two out of three midsize businesses have suffered a ransomware attack in the last 18 months, which typically results in data loss. Even worse is that the size, severity and cost of these attacks continues to increase every year.
