Reconnex's award-winning data loss prevention appliances are designed for any organization –including enterprises, government agencies, or educational institutions–that wants to protect its brand, maintain compliance, or secure sensitive information. Reconnex delivers accurate protection against known data-loss threats and provides the only solution that automatically learns of and defends against new threats as they evolve. A privately held company based in Silicon Valley, Calif., Reconnex protects information for over one million users today.

At Reconnex, we see information management and security as an ongoing process, not a static event. We understand the importance of protecting high business impact digital assets. It is a challenge that affects every organization, regardless of size or type of business and solving this information protection dilemma is the foundation of our business.

With more than 20 patented technologies and a seasoned management team, we offer the next-generation, turnkey appliance-based solution for data loss prevention. One that secures known, fixed data (the obvious things) and protects the seemingly amorphous concept called intellectual property, or IP (the not-so-obvious things), and even helps you determine what is sensitive in the first place. It’s the only solution that helps you learn about new information and stakeholders as they develop—and helps you determine who should see your sensitive data. With our learning approach to data protection, we don’t expect you to know all the answers. We use your organization’s communications to help you determine what is sensitive and who should have access to it.

The following five features are core elements of the end-to-end Reconnex information protection solution and are leveraged for protection of data in motion, data at rest, and data in use. Each of these features are enabled on the purpose-built Reconnex iGuard appliance, which provides the foundation for our industry-leading accuracy, performance, functionality, and usability.

CONTROL Intuitive controls define a wide range of filtering and control policies—from simple to complex— for addressing privacy data and protecting intellectual property (IP).

DISCOVER To address data-at-rest, this feature scans desktops, laptops, servers, and other network data repositories to identify sensitive information. Discover can then fingerprint this information to allow data in motion and data-in-use systems to protect against unsecured or unauthorized transmission of this data.

MONITOR For data in motion, this feature performs real-time scanning and analysis of content— regardless of content type, protocol or port—as it traverses your network boundaries.

PREVENT Alerting and blocking techniques control what information traverses or is stored on the network at all times.

CAPTURE To determine what has happened on the network as it relates to critical content, the capture database classifies and stores events to enable IT to gain a historic perspective and learn what information is sensitive and how to respond to emerging threats.
