IBM Guardium vs McAfee DLP: What are the differences?
Developers describe IBM Guardium as "Achieve smarter data protection with visibility, automation and scalability". It is a comprehensive data protection platform that enables security teams to automatically analyze what is happening in sensitive-data environments (databases, data warehouses, big data platforms, cloud environments, files systems, and so on) to help minimize risk and protect sensitive data. On the other hand, McAfee DLP is detailed as "Comprehensive data loss prevention in one suite". It safeguards intellectual property and ensures compliance by protecting sensitive data on premises, in the cloud, and at endpoints.
IBM Guardium and McAfee DLP can be primarily classified as "Data Security Services" tools.
Some of the features offered by IBM Guardium are:
- Automatically discover and classify sensitive data
- Identify data at risk and get remediation recommendations
- Monitor access and protect data
On the other hand, McAfee DLP provides the following key features:
- Capture technology allows you to see how your data is being used and how it is leaking
- Stronger data classification identifies and classifies data that is important to your organization
- Encrypt, redirect, quarantine, or block data transmissions that are in violation of policies
