The Websense Data Endpoint allows security administrators to either block or monitor and log files that present a policy breach. The data endpoint creates forensic monitoring that allows administrators to create policies that don’t restrict device usage, but allow full visibility of content traffic.
You can monitor user activity inside endpoint applications, such as the cut, copy, paste, print, and print screen operations. You can also monitor endpoint Web activities and know when users are copying data to external drives and endpoint devices.
Working with data endpoints entails configuring endpoint profiles via TRITON - Data Security. The configuration settings defined in TRITON - Data Security regulate the behavior of the endpoint agents. The endpoint agents analyze content within a user’s working environment (PC, laptop and variants) and block or monitor policy breaches as defined by the endpoint profiles.
When to use the Data Endpoint
The data endpoint is designed for organizations with off-network machines such as corporate laptops. It is for those concerned about data loss originated at the endpoint, whether malicious or inadvertant. For example, if you want to prevent employees from taking sensitive data home on their laptops and printing it, posting to the Web, copy and pasting it, etc., you need the endpoint agent.
