Samsung’s IT R&D hub uses Endpoint Protector to control PC peripherals and data transfers in a multi-OS environment.

The Challenge

Samsung’s R&D Institute needed a DLP solution that could help to manage insider threats and monitor employee activity related to data transfers.

The Solution

Samsung’s R&D Institute chose Endpoint Protector by CoSoSys because of its multi-OS capabilities. Besides Windows, Endpoint Protector efficiently safeguards sensitive data on macOS and Linux-based operating systems.
