Why PK Protect vs. Symantec for Your Data Security Needs?

In today’s complex data landscape, protecting sensitive information is more crucial than ever. With high-profile data breaches on the rise, organizations across industries must proactively secure their data, from endpoints to the cloud, to meet regulatory requirements, prevent breaches, and build customer trust.

Here’s why PKWARE stands out.

PK Protect takes a data-centric approach to security, focusing on discovering, protecting, and managing sensitive data throughout its entire lifecycle. This approach provides robust, flexible protection that adapts to your organization’s unique needs across environments. Symantec, while effective, tends to focus more on perimeter-based security, which may leave gaps in the protection of data that moves across systems, devices, and cloud environments.

With PKWARE, you gain the advantage of safeguarding data directly at the source, ensuring security is maintained even as data moves through different stages and environments.

PK Protects data discovery and classification capabilities are designed for organizations that need high visibility and control over sensitive information. PK Protects industry leading discovery tools allow you to identify, classify, and tag sensitive data to ensure compliance with privacy laws and regulations.

PK Protects solution goes a step further with granular policy settings that can be customized according to specific compliance requirements. This means you can confidently manage sensitive data, regardless of where it resides, with tailored controls for different types of information.

One of PKWARE’s core strengths is its ability to automate encryption and masking to secure data without disrupting business processes.

PK Protects flexibility in implementing customizable policies and seamless integrations with key security frameworks makes it easier to meet and report on compliance standards. This flexibility ensures that your organization can adapt quickly to new regulatory requirements, keeping data secure and compliant across jurisdictions.

Data security isn’t just about meeting today’s threats; it’s about preparing for tomorrows. PK Protect is building quantum-safe encryption capabilities, ensuring your organization’s sensitive information is protected from quantum-based attacks that could break traditional encryption. This forward-thinking approach protects against the “harvest now, decrypt later” security concerns—an approach where threat actors capture data today with the hope of decrypting it in the future using advanced quantum computing.

PK Protects reporting and analytics features provide a clear, real-time view of your data security posture. With detailed dashboards and reporting, organizations can monitor compliance, track encryption activities, and identify areas where security can be improved. PK Protects focuses on actionable insights and empowers organizations to make informed decisions about data protection strategies.
