Our favorite thing about Netwrix Endpoint Protector is the granularity of the Content Aware Protection. Being able to drill down exactly into not only the types of data that we're looking for but in the file types and all other things.

Challenge

Protect sensitive information, such as SSNs and income records: Blend needed to ensure the security of customer PII, including Social Security numbers and income records, across multiple channels like email, web browsers, and removable media, particularly within its Amazon Workspaces infrastructure.
Insufficient endpoint data security: Blend's previous solution lacked adequate measures to prevent data loss at the endpoint level, leaving the Windows-based endpoints vulnerable to unauthorized data exfiltration.
Lack of API integration for infrastructure-as-code requirements: To align with their infrastructure-as-code approach, Blend required a solution with API integration, which their previous DLP solution did not provide, creating challenges in automation and security management.

The introduction of an API into the Unify platform allowed us to verify the presence of security agents across all anticipated devices, bolstering confidence and assurance for our customers.

Netwrix Solution

Blend needed to protect its banking partners’ customer PII, including Social Security numbers, income records, and more across email, web browsers, and removable media for their Windows-based endpoints and managed through API access.

Comprehensive Endpoint Protection with API-First Architecture: Blend implemented Netwrix Endpoint Protector Unify, an API-driven DLP solution, to enhance endpoint security. This solution enabled them to set up policies that improve visibility into user actions and oversee data movements, ensuring sensitive information like PII is protected.
Content Aware Protection for Enhanced Data Monitoring: By leveraging Content Aware Protection, Blend gained the ability to inspect and scan data contextually for sensitive information, such as Social Security numbers and income records. This feature allowed Blend to monitor data transfers and significantly improve data protection.
Automation of DLP Policy Management: With Unify’s API-driven architecture, Blend automated the management of DLP policy changes. The seamless integration allowed them to streamline security configurations through GitHub pull requests, ensuring quick and efficient policy updates with a robust audit trail for accountability.
Increased Visibility and Control Across Endpoints: The introduction of API functionality allowed Blend to verify the presence of security agents across all expected devices. This increased visibility and control empowered Blend’s security operations team to maintain a resilient security posture, particularly within their AWS environment.
