Benefits
Visual labels serve as immediate cues for users to handle sensitive information correctly. Displaying classifications reinforces a culture of security, highlighting the value and ownership of organizational data. Adding watermarks reminds users not to photograph their screens or print sensitive files, helping prevent data theft. In case of a breach, visual labels help investigators quickly identify the sensitivity of the compromised data. By embedding labels into metadata, your visual markers and security settings follow the file wherever it goes. With these kind of benefits, Trellix DLP Endpoint - SaaS allows:
End-users to label the document, so that other users are aware of its classification.
End-users to label the documents without the use of third-party tools.
Manage multiple solutions with reduced administrative and operating cost.
