Re: Symantec DLP vs Identity Finder

SymEd bundle: endpoint, MDM, email gateway, DLP enforcer (network scan, endpoint), and DLP DataInsight. Based on number 
of full-time staff. The DLP is content and context based. Can scan anything with Creds and share. It can be used for 
incident response to determine impact based on affected data for servers and endpoints. DataInsight is a nice 
compliment to tell who, what, when, where related to files and folders on share it's set up with. Bazooka of a solution 
but it can do everything we needed it to so far.

Hi All,

We have been thinking about doing something like Identity Finder to locate and help remediate our sensitive data stored 
all about.     A couple of Educause Security conferences ago, I recall a few people mentioning that Symantec had a 
product that did similar things, and could be part of some sort of educational bundle offered by Symantec, and thus 
more reasonably priced.

Is anybody using Symantec to do their sensitive data discovery?    If so, is it part of a bundle, and if so, what is 
that bundle called?    And finally, how do you like it?

Thanks,
