Looking to replace Symantec DLP?
Since Broadcom's acquisition of Symantec, many teams evaluating broadcom symantec alternatives cite the same drivers: licensing changes, support uncertainty, and a heavy footprint that's hard to run across mixed environments.
Endpoint Protector is a purpose-built Symantec DLP alternative that puts an end to data loss, data leaks, and data theft - enforcing control at the endpoint across Windows, macOS, and Linux from a single agent, with predictable licensing and a deployment your team can stand up in hours, not quarters.
True cross-platform solution
Manage every endpoint — Windows, macOS, or Linux — from one console and one agent. Among Symantec DLP alternatives, deep, first-class macOS and Linux coverage is where Endpoint Protector pulls ahead: no second-class agents, no gaps on the platforms your engineers and executives actually run.
Ensure ongoing compliances
Meet GDPR, PCI DSS, and HIPAA requirements with one tool. Map device-control and content-aware policies directly to the controls auditors check, and produce the logs that prove enforcement.
Easy to configure and to manage
Deploy hassle-free and control all endpoints from a single dashboard. Build policies per user, department, or device without the professional-services overhead heavier suites demand, a recurring reason teams shortlist Endpoint Protector among symantec dlp competitors.
Gain visibility of your sensitive data
Reduce the risk of sensitive data leaving the organization, accidentally or intentionally, without disrupting users. Control portable storage devices at the VID/PID level, whitelist by user, device, or machine, and set policies that fit how each team actually works.
Real-time data protection
Stop accidental and intentional leaks as they happen. Apply content-aware policies per department and adjust them to each user's access to sensitive data, enforced deterministically at the endpoint, with low false positives, so security teams trust what the tool blocks.
Mitigate security challenges
Prevent exposure of confidential, protected, and proprietary data with granular access controls, enforced encryption for removable media, and detailed audit logs. Comprehensive protection that stays easy to deploy and operate.
