Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We are using this Endpoint Protector by CoSoSys as a data loss prevention solution. This was implemented as our users have started to work from home and it was very much required to extend control and protection even when the users were working from home or when connected through any open WIFI terminals.

Pros

Data loss prevention.
USB control.
Application control.
Schedule based policies.

Cons

App integration - CoSoSys supports a lot of industry standard apps but fails to provide protection on 3rd party applications.
Complete disk encryption.
Web filtering features.

Likelihood to Recommend

With CoSoSys Endpoint Protector, we are able to control whatever the users are trying to connect to their system, be it a mobile phone, ptp/mtp device, printer, CD/DVD, or any other peripheral, and based on the user level/category, we have even allowed them access to organization's storage drive, which we whitelisted, and rest all other devices were blacklisted.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We purchased it, specifically for source code protection, but it didn’t work for us. Code is being incorrectly identified, lots of false positives. For example, many Visual Studio projects fail to compile, and according to EPP Logs, it says code have tried to leak, via Teams, or Slack, and that doesn’t make sense.

The other problem we have is that all the software is built around a device control module, so for example you can not create dlp rules for external devices, you can just permit or deny the device use.

Pros

Can be used remotely via public IP or VPN
Integrates well with Active Directory
Easy to deploy

Cons

Source code detection is their selling point, they should fix all the problems
Copy/Paste, when you copy paste text, the control applies over the paste, this is correct, but when you copy files, the control is on the copy, not in the paste, so Incan not move protected content not even in a sub folder
Device protection shouldn’t be the main module, there are other software that handle devices, you should focus on DLP

Likelihood to Recommend

I think EPP will server well to any company try to protect data leaks of any type. Source code is something hard to control, I get that, but it you search on Google for source code protection DLP and the first result is COCoSys, then it should work flawlessly, and it is still like in alpha

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Endpoint Protector [by CoSoSys] is being used by our entire organization as a data loss prevention solution. We needed a unified solution across the organization to monitor possible data loss events. Endpoint Protector is currently deployed to Windows, Mac, and Linux type endpoints. Endpoint Protector is being deployed and used by specific teams for specific use cases.

Pros

Compatibility with major operating systems
Great support by CoSoSys with issues we come across.
Granular controls and application of policies.

Cons

User interface could use some work to unify across the whole product.
Some initial bugs needed to be worked out.
Non standard syslog format caused headaches for a few months while we waited for them to fix the issue.

Likelihood to Recommend

Endpoint Protector [by CoSoSys] is well suited for an environment where a data loss prevention solution is required and many different operating system types are used. It is also well suited for an organization that has a need to deploy a solution quickly. Endpoint Protector is not well suited for companies that need to have an API or other integrations with other IT tools.
