An Intellyx Brain Candy Brief
Metomic helps prevent data loss when using modern SaaS collaboration tools.
SaaS based collaboration tools, such as Google Apps, Slack, Jira, Zendesk, and others make it so easy to exchange data, it’s easy to overlook the fact that someone might be exchanging sensitive data – intentionally or unintentionally.
Data loss prevention (DLP) technology has been available for a while for scanning email, but because DLP for SaaS collaboration tools is relatively new, many organizations may not be aware of the extent to which sensitive data is being shared.
That’s where Metomic comes in. The Metomic product checks SaaS collaboration app messages for the presence of sensitive data such as social security numbers, bank account numbers, credit card numbers, and other sensitive information, and sends an alert if it finds any.
They offer a free scan to check your Google Drive so you can try it out for yourself.
