Our clients have hybrid deployments, where they are part on-premises and part cloud. The implementation strategy that we use varies depending on the client. For example, at the bank, we wanted to prevent data breaches, especially with credit card information, and ensure compliance. Therefore, our strategy was focused on just the PCI requirements so that we could take reasonable measures to protect the organization.
Essentially, we wanted to go from zero to hero quite quickly. That was possible because of the flexibility and agility of the product. When it came to the telco, it was a completely different strategy. It was a long-term strategy in terms of protection of personal information and preventing it from being divulged without authority to would-be criminals. When we deployed it, we literally had to look at the requirements and configure it from a POPI perspective.
In this regard, the deployment was skewed toward personal information breaches. Their skills were meant to be the best in the country but it left a lot to be desired. We had to use the UK offices and that's a challenge with most of the organizations in South Africa. With big vendors, South Africa is a small market, so the investment in South Africa is not what it should be. Understanding, managing, and integrating products needs to be improved, in general.
For deployment, there were eight of us in total. Two were engineers, there were four analysts because we had to write the business rules and document them, there was a project manager and a few others. Maintenance is being done by the client, in-house. They have two engineers that are responsible for it, and they have purchased support from the local providers. My clients are seeing ROI because the privacy office is quite comfortable now that they've done everything reasonable to meet the compliance requirements.
There is a level of assurance provided by the DLP solution. In terms of pricing, it is good for a corporation but they do not cater to small to medium businesses. They have to look at a different pricing structure for small to medium-sized enterprises because the cost is too high. This is compounded for the African market because of the exchange rate. One dollar is equal to approximately 15 rands and if you were to multiply that by the price of the product, it becomes quite costly.
There are no costs in addition to the standard licensing feed, although you still need to understand the operational impact that it has on an organization from a resource perspective. That needs to be factored into the total cost of ownership. We compared Forcepoint with NetSkope to assess its reporting capabilities and we found that the NetSkope report was very easy to translate, understand, and explain to a business.
Forcepoint was instead very cumbersome, unstructured, and illogical. It required an expert to actually interpret the report, which is something that you don't want.
We have also looked at the McAfee product, as well as the one from Microsoft. At that stage, the solution from Microsoft was a little immature and I have not looked at it since. Forcepoint was the leader when we implemented it for our clients. Comparing Forcepoint to the other products in general, the data discovery capability was great, except for the interpretation of the report.
The OCR capabilities were also good for us because it's a telco and they have a lot of paper going through. The tool works great but they don't talk about the operationalization of the tool from a process perspective.
When people sell DLP solutions, they talk about the efficiency of the tool, but they don't talk about the impact that it has on an organization from a resource perspective. You would need a team to analyze all of the exceptions that you have, like the way they do in a SOC, where you have analysts looking at the incident.
They analyze and investigate it, and then determine whether it is positive or negative and something that we have to be worried about. For example, our organization had approximately 70, end-users, who were employees. Both services have a relatively low impact on PC performance while no scan was being performed. While Webroot might have less impact on a day-to-day basis, McAfee is more effective at protecting your device from threats because its scans go much deeper.
The test looks at eight common tasks:. McAfee scored well in terms of speed, indicating again that it has minimal impact on PC performance considering how in-depth its scans are. Webroot again was not tested by AV-Comparatives.
The additional features of an antivirus scanner are just as important as the scanner itself. These features provide you with the best protection for your devices. Below are some of the standout features of McAfee and Webroot, which should clarify which system is the best value for money and offers better protection. McAfee Total Protection. Password Manager: Securely store all of your online passwords in one place and ensure all of your personal and private information is protected.
McAfee Shredder: This handy shredder is pretty unique to McAfee as many competitors lack this feature. The McAfee shredder enables you to delete files and ensures no traces are left behind. Encrypted Storage: Encrypted storage allows you to securely store your most private files. Lightning-fast scans: Webroot scans your device within 20 seconds, which is much faster than many of its competitors. LastPass: Protect your passwords and personal information with the LastPass password manager.
McAfee and Webroot boast similar features that would be useful day to day. See also: Best password managers. It also allows you to choose how many devices are covered by your plan. A software CD is included at an additional cost. McAfee will take you to a separate page when you choose your package, but it outlines any savings you make and shows the price of your product before you pay. Any program you install should be easy to use.
From the images below, it is clear each interface is simple and straightforward. McAfee maintains its recognizable branding with the red and grey color scheme. The left-hand panel shows you what is enabled, giving you a clear indication of the level of protection you are receiving. The design is a little lacking, but it does the job. You can also stay up to date with the Webroot community by clicking on the bottom panel.
The company also provides a knowledge base, forum, and support hub, as well as additional advice on social media. McAfee also guarantees your system remains malware-free by providing technicians who can connect to your devices remotely to fix infections.
