The cybersecurity company delivering the future of extended detection and response (XDR), Trellix has announced new macOS Trellix Data Loss Prevention Endpoint Complete capabilities to better secure sensitive and proprietary information from accidental or intentional exposure. Global organizations can now protect against critical data leakage via Outlook email, prevent sensitive documents from being printed or transferred by AirDrop, and block file uploads in Chrome, Edge, and Safari.

“Organizations of all sizes need simple and effective methods for protecting their most critical data from data leaks. We continue to expand our coverage for critical data loss vectors to empower our customers to eliminate silos, consolidate resources and increase efficiency.”

In the last five years, 48 per cent of CISOs have experienced a major cyber incident resulting from data theft attacks and 33 per cent of CISOs report managing a major incident caused by employees within their organization. With use of macOS-enabled workstations and laptops growing globally and nearly one-third of desktop operating systems in the US on macOS, organizations need solutions built to protect against threats to their most important data.

“Workstations and laptops present an increasing risk for employees sharing sensitive data and intellectual property – both accidentally and intentionally,” said XDR General Manager, Trellix ohn Morgan,. “Organizations of all sizes need simple and effective methods for protecting their most critical data from data leaks. We continue to expand our coverage for critical data loss vectors to empower our customers to eliminate silos, consolidate resources and increase efficiency.”

Stop Data Exfiltration: Stop data exfiltration through the top data leakage vectors on endpoints – including limiting potential insider data breaches and lowering the risk of successful ransomware attacks.

Improve Policy Adherence: Improve user adherence to policies with instant automated coaching and requests for justification without manual intervention by the security team.

Ease of Use: Manage macOS protection from one unified console, along with Windows workstations, servers, networks, and the cloud.
