Why Enterprise DLP Solutions Will Go Away

Large, traditional, enterprise DLP deployments will go away as organizations look to leverage multiple, integrated DLP solutions.  The reasons for this include:

• A focus on cloud & mobile solutions, & a migration away from on premise
• Consolidation of vendor solution capabilities (e.g., CASB, DLP, DCAP, RMS, DMARC, SPF)
• Portable / interoperable policies / rules (e.g., SCAP, CTP)
• A focus on agile deployments
• Cost / economies of scale

In essence, DLP will parallel HR-based ERP modules that have recently been migrated from on premise to SaaS solutions.

With that said, the real question is what else will be migrated away from on premise?

Privileged Access Management (PAM) & Approach

There are both enterprise and point PAM solutions available to organizations.  With that said, as many organizations transition to a cloud-first and federated model, an enterprise solution may be the wiser choice.

While CyberArk, CA PAM, Centrify, etc. are expensive solutions, an organization may see a better return on investment (ROI) in the long run than an organization deploying multiple pointed (e.g., MSFT LAPS) solutions.

So, deploy PAM in a phased manner for AD, EUC, ERP / EHR, cloud, social media, etc. to make the cost palatable for the enterprise.
