QUESTION
Which Data Loss Prevention (DLP) or Anti-virus (AV) solutions does EFT work with?
ANSWER
EFT Enterprise v7 and later has a "Content Integrity Control" feature, which is part of the Event Rule subsystem. Content Integrity Control allows event workflows to hand files off to a third-party content analysis tool and react according to the results of that analysis. DLP and antivirus/antimalware are common use cases.
The underlying technology used to integrate EFT with third-party analysis tools is ICAP, which is an industry standard protocol. Numerous DLP vendors support this natively, making integration with EFT a breeze. WebSense, Symantec (formerly Vontu), IBM Fidelis, RSA DLP, CodeGreen Networks, and others each support ICAP, and a number of them have been fully tested with EFT.
Although Globalscape cannot endorse a particular vendor or product, we can state that, based on EFT customer feedback, it appears that WebSense and Symantec are very capable and widely used DLP solutions.
Please contact your account representative to demonstrate EFT's capabilities, and further discuss your company's AV or DLP project.
