Through Digital Guardian’s data-aware technology approach – including the latest version of its endpoint security platform, Digital Guardian 7.0, businesses can be rest assured their valuable, sensitive data is guarded against both internal threats and external attacks, including advanced malware. With more than 52 million terabytes of sensitive data protected daily by Digital Guardian agents, the company’s solutions offers deep visibility, fine-grained control and comprehensive data protection coverage to stop data theft.

Digital Guardian agents support multi-session and multi-user policies in virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI) environments hosted on Citrix, VMware, and MS Hyper-V servers. Using these agents, corporations can audit and enforce policies in physical or virtual environments while ensuring data use and movement are managed appropriately for employees, third parties, and administrators.

Digital Guardian virtual agents continuously monitor and log all data interactions with evidentiary-quality forensics, inspect and tag sensitive data via automated rules or user input, enforce context-aware data access and control policies, and manage data egress across all data interactions

As virtualization adoption continues to flourish, our Virtualization 50 list serves as a valuable resource in the purchasing process,” said Robert Faletra, CEO, The Channel Company. “These virtualization vendors definitely deserve to be on the channel’s radar.
