What is Fortra DLP?

Comprehensive Data Loss Prevention (DLP) for Rapid Deployment and Results. Unique among DLP solutions in its ability to support both a “top-down,” use case-based approach (focused on known data types or user groups) or a “bottom-up,” data risk discovery approach. Our “bottom-up” approach enables you to gain visibility even before you create policies by showing you where sensitive data is located, how it flows in the organization, and where it is put at risk.

What differentiates Fortra DLP from other similar products?

Forta digital guardian doesn’t just block threats—it understands how data moves and adapts in real time. It’s great at spotting insider risks, protecting endpoints, and working seamlessly across cloud and on-premise setups. Plus, its automated responses help keep data safe without slowing teams down.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

What stands out the most about Fortra Digital Guardian is its behavior-based threat detection. Instead of just relying on rules and policies, it actively analyzes how users interact with data to catch insider threats and suspicious activity in real time. This proactive approach makes it much more effective at preventing data loss without disrupting regular workflows.

The setup and fine-tuning can take time, especially for companies with complex data policies. Also, its deep monitoring might feel a bit heavy for some users who prefer a more lightweight approach

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

If you're considering Fortra Digital Guardian, ensure you have a clear understanding of your data security needs and be prepared for some initial setup and fine-tuning. It's a powerful tool, but to get the most out of it, invest time in customizing policies and training your team on its features.
