DLP capabilities

• Webex is able to integrate with different Data Loss Prevention solutions, in different ways. Webex provides a rich set of admin and compliance APIs to help customers monitor and assert adherence to corporate policies. Unlike more traditional approaches, AGAT is able to provide DLP capabilities in real time, leveraging https://developer.webex.com/docs/api/guides/webex-real-time-file-dlp-basics
  One of the main advantages of this approach is that we are not talking about reactive solutions, in which sensitive data is sent in a a file or a message, the communications reaches the destination and is deleted after the fact (it can take up to 5 minutes)

• SphereShield uses the Real time DLP for files API to block files inline.

• SphereShield also offers a real time solution which blocks sensitive information contained in both files and messages from reaching the cloud and obviously the destination user. Sometimes this is needed as a matter of company policy and sometimes it is required by law.

• SphereShield DLP policies can be applied to a subset of users, they do not need to be org wide. You can also exclude a group of users. This helps solve both functional and commercial needs when DLP is only needed for a subset of users.

• SphereShield DLP can inspect Audio using transcripts. Alerts will be sent after the meeting.

• SphereShield DLP can inspect video (on screen text) using Video OCR. Alerts will be sent after the meeting.

• SphereShield DLP can be integrated with other DLP vendors such as Forcepoint, Symantec, McAfee. This integration means that customers can use their existing DLP rules and infrastructure and cover Webex at the same time. Incidents will also appear in the existing Vendors incident manager.

• SphereShield DLP can inspect files managed in SharePoint/One Drive in Webex.

• SphereShield DLP violations are audited and integrated with the SphereShield eDiscovery. This is useful to see the entire context of a DLP incident.
