By Frost Sullivan, PRNEWednesday, January 26, 2011
LONDON, January 27, 2011 - The 2010 Frost & Sullivan World Product Innovation Award in Data Loss
Prevention is presented to GTB. In a challenging environment, GTB's
innovative line of data loss prevention (DLP) products successfully meet the
market demand for sensitive data protection.

The company's DLP solutions are capable of blocking any outbound
transmission, no matter the protocol or file format, providing all users with
enhanced network security. The GTB DLP Suite inspects both structured and
unstructured data fingerprinting. In case of a data leak, the GTB DLP Suite
will detect fingerprinted data leak among both.
"GTB addresses the specific 'raison d'etre' of such solutions, which is
to prevent corporate data loss of sensitive and confidential information -
whether malicious or accidental - from anywhere and at anytime," notes Frost
& Sullivan Research Analyst Deborah Bensimon. "GTB has pushed Data Loss
Prevention technology forward: It detects leaking data utilizing proprietary
fingerprinting and pattern engines with a very high accuracy rate, giving
users confidence in actually blocking violations, rather than just monitoring
them."
Designed for greater security and to make sure all packets are scanned
without network degradation, the GTB DLP Suite detects any manipulation on
data. This is due to the use of various precise and imprecise proprietary
detection algorithms.
The GTB DLP Suite is made up of three DLP solutions: the GTB Inspector,
the GTB Endpoint Protector and the GTB e-Discovery. The GTB Inspector scans,
with accuracy, all outbound traffic and can block sensitive information
without a proxy server. GTB Endpoint DLP discovers, protects, audits and
controls any information susceptible to leaking at the endpoint through any
USB device. Finally, GTB e-Discovery DLP scans both desktops and file-Shares
to report any vulnerability, which it will then delete or quarantine. In all
three cases, GTB DLP solutions provide capability to detect content in any
language.
"These intuitive solutions stop sensitive data from leaving a corporate
network, preventing unauthorized transmission attempts of confidential
content, irrespective of the internet protocols and data formats being used,
and without a proxy server," remarks Bensimon. "Furthermore, GTB DLP
solutions can detect extracted data, file format conversion, compression,
file embedding, file extension changes, re-typed data as well as any change
in data representation; in both structured and unstructured data."
Security violations are recorded immediately in the GTB's Central
Management Console. Detailed analysis can then be made on the source, the
destination and the actual content violated. Such sources and destinations
are based on the Username, the Machine Name, the IP address or the email
address. A geographical map is also available for the data destination. Such
features represent extra value-add for the GTB DLP Suite, and are an
opportunity for further market penetration and growth.
"GTB provides very low-level of false-positive and false-negative rates
and rigorously answers state and federal regulations and legislation, such as
PCI, HIPAA, GLBA, FERPA, and others, which is why GTB draws its biggest
clients from the banking, financial, defense and healthcare sectors,"
concludes Bensimon. "The high rate of accuracy and ease of deployment of its
solutions indicate that it will sustain its momentum to becoming a major
provider of DLP solutions in the coming years."
For the New Product Innovation Award, the following criteria were used to
benchmark GTB's performance against key competitors: innovative elements of
the product, leverage leading edge technologies, value added
features/benefits, increased customer value and customer
acquisition/penetration potential.
