RSA, the Security Division of EMC, has joined the Blue Coat Technology Integration Partner Programme. As part of the programme, Blue Coat has certified interoperability between the RSA Data Loss Prevention (DLP) Network and Blue Coat ProxySG appliances.

Effective compliance with privacy and other regulations requires not just monitoring all types of data transactions on the network but also being able to proactively prevent the data from leaving the network, said Bethany Mayer, senior vice president of Worldwide Marketing at Blue Coat Systems.

“Blue Coat and RSA can now deliver an interoperable solution that provides visibility into the traffic and is designed to enforce corporate policies that prevent sensitive data from leaving the network.”

This interoperable solution enables enterprises to monitor and control network data and enforce policies that are engineered to proactively prevent traffic, including SSL-encrypted traffic, from leaving the network.

RSA DLP Network, part of the RSA DLP Suite, is designed to identify sensitive information and act accordingly, based on a set of established policies that can be customised to apply customers’ specific security drivers. Blue Coat ProxySG appliances decrypt SSL traffic and pass the decrypted content to RSA DLP Network for analysis.

By making encrypted traffic visible to the RSA DLP Network, ProxySG appliances eliminate a source of potential data leaks that could expose the organisation to financial losses.

Headquartered in Sunnyvale, California, Blue Coat secures Web communications and accelerates business applications across the distributed enterprise. The Blue Coat Technology Integration Partner Programme provides interoperable solutions that help organisations build a secure, flexible and scalable application infrastructure.

By partnering with best-of-breed vendors to deliver these solutions, Blue Coat offers multiple options for comprehensive Secure Web Gateway and WAN optimisation deployments.
