20 Years On: Why Do DLP Projects Still Fail? Despite being around for 20 years and at the forefront of protecting organizations’ sensitive data, Data Loss Prevention programs still struggle to keep pace with ever-changing organizational requirements. Before you know it, your two most precious resources—time and money—are down the drain. To make matters worse, at the same time, the risk to data security just keeps getting higher.
Join us in welcoming Jenny Hamm, a new speaker for Piers & Ian’s webcast and our Data Protection Lead at Fortra. Jenny spends her every day actively solving cybersecurity challenges for real-life DLP customers, and along with Ian Davies, she'll be sharing expert insights in this 30-minute webcast.
“By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.”
What to consider to avoid the latter:
- Pre-Purchase planning
- Which vital questions should precede deployment details in your vendor search process
- DLP is a living evolving organism – how can you be 100% certain it can grow with your business?
- Event Overload.
- What really stands behind poorly configured DLP
- How not to set your DLP tools to orbit around theoretical cases
- There is no panacea against an overload of false positives – but visibility will bring you a long-awaited reduction. How do you get there?

Digital Guardian by HelpSystems wins CyberSecurity Breakthrough Award 2022
MINNEAPOLIS, Minn.
Chris Brook
Fri, 10/21/2022 - 10:35
Thursday, October 6, 2022 - 12:00 MINNEAPOLIS (October 6, 2022)—HelpSystems announced today that Digital Guardian’s Data Protection Platform has been named Data Leak Detection Solution of the Year in the CyberSecurity Breakthrough Awards. The CyberSecurity Breakthrough Awards honor excellence and recognize the creativity, hard work and success of cybersecurity companies, technologies, and products.
When sensitive, regulated data is exposed, enterprises face non-compliance with industry regulations, and potentially a data breach fine. When intellectual property is exposed, enterprises face loss of competitive advantage. In both cases, reputational damage adds additional negative repercussions. Enterprise data loss prevention (DLP) solutions are effective at preventing sensitive data from being exfiltrated or accidentally leaked from the organization. However, with many enterprises undergoing digital transformations and the industry shortage of security professionals, managing data protection programs can be challenging.
Digital Guardian’s Data Protection Platform reduces the resources required to manage an effective enterprise data loss prevention program. It performs on traditional endpoints, across the corporate network, and cloud applications, making it easier to see and respond to threats to sensitive information at the speed of your organization.
“We are honored to have been selected as the winner of the Data Leak Detection Solution of the Year award in CyberSecurity Breakthrough’s Awards 2022 program,” said Andrew Tewksbury, Managing Director, Data Protection at HelpSystems. “With more and more information being kept digitally, detecting data leaks quickly and efficiently prevents data from falling into the wrong hands. Our data protection platform enables data rich organizations to protect their critical data assets effectively and without slowing the pace of their business.”
