MUMBAI, INDIA: GajShield Infotech announced the availability of data leakage prevention appliance.
The newer security threats come from blended threats, changing patterns rapidly, exploiting the holes in applications and are targeted attacks on users as the objective would be to steal data.

The attackers objective would be financial rewards rather than to gain name. The vehicles of these attacks would be viruses, worms, spams, phising, pharming, e-mail, FTP, instant messaging, P2P, etc.

“The significant change that has been witnessed in the past few years is that today security encompasses not just threat management from a network point of view but actually identifies and stopping Data Leak,” said Anand Iyer, president—Marketing, GajShield.

“The shift has been from defining policies basis the users rather than IP address, identifying applications rather than ports and monitoring and controlling data leak by users intentional or unintentionally. Hence, the focus is to look deeper in the content to identify information leak source and application and then have the ability to control them.”
