Lots of improvements to be done

Pros

  • Can be used remotely via public IP or VPN
  • Integrates well with Active Directory
  • Easy to deploy

Cons

  • Source code detection is their selling point, they should fix all the problems
  • Copy/Paste, when you copy paste text, the control applies over the paste, this is correct, but when you copy files, the control is on the copy, not in the paste, so Incan not move protected content not even in a sub folder
  • Device protection shouldn’t be the main module, there are other software that handle devices, you should focus on DLP

Return on Investment

  • Didn’t work as expected
  • Not sure yet if we are going to renew it, thankfully we didn’t make a 3 year contract required by them.
  • The are not many options in the market for source code detection, so we may have to stick with it

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We are using this Endpoint Protector by CoSoSys as a data loss prevention solution. This was implemented as our users have started to work from home and it was very much required to extend control and protection even when the users were working from home or when connected through any open WIFI terminals.

Pros

  • Data loss prevention.
  • USB control.
  • Application control.
  • Schedule based policies.

Cons

  • App integration - CoSoSys supports a lot of industry standard apps but fails to provide protection on 3rd party applications.
  • Complete disk encryption.
  • Web filtering features.

Return on Investment

  • Positive - complete control on user's access medium.
  • Positive - single platform for controlling external devices as well as applications on a user system.

Pros

  • Compatibility with major operating systems
  • Great support by CoSoSys with issues we come across.
  • Granular controls and application of policies.

Cons

  • User interface could use some work to unify across the whole product.
  • Some initial bugs needed to be worked out.
  • Non standard syslog format caused headaches for a few months while we waited for them to fix the issue.

Return on Investment

  • We've already seen some great return on investments. Endpoint Protector has caught, in it's short time being deployed, a data loss incident we would not have caught otherwise.
  • Endpoint Protector has given the team leads comfort that the data loss events is being monitored and acted upon.
  • Endpoint Protector has fulfilled a business objective of protecting intellectual property from leaving the organization through an unauthorized channel.
