Security Technology & DLP

When organizations strengthen their security posture, three terms come up frequently: EDR, SIEM, and SOAR. All three contribute to threat detection and incident response, so they may appear similar. In practice, however, each observes a different scope and serves a different role.

In simple terms, EDR looks deeply into endpoints such as PCs and servers, SIEM brings security data from across the organization together for analysis, and SOAR connects and automates repetitive response procedures after a threat is detected.

MonitorDog integrates these three operating approaches within screen security. It detects security issues at the endpoint and takes immediate action, centrally manages events from multiple users and devices through a dashboard, and classifies suspicious activity or triggers responses such as screen locking according to administrator-defined scenarios.

Security incidents do not always begin with an external attacker breaking through a firewall. A departing employee viewing customer records, a contractor account logging in at an unusual time, or an authorized user photographing a sensitive screen with a smartphone can all become very real threats.

This is where UEBA (User and Entity Behavior Analytics) often comes into the conversation. In simple terms, UEBA is about moving beyond the question, "Does this user have permission?" and also asking, "Is this behavior different from what is normal?"

"Zero Trust" has become one of the most common terms in cybersecurity. But in real-world conversations, it is still often understood too narrowly as "removing VPNs" or "authenticating users multiple times."

Zero Trust is not a single technology. It is an operating principle: do not trust any user, device, or location by default. When you follow that principle all the way through, you inevitably arrive at one fundamental question: when an authorized user has a sensitive screen open, can we really trust what is happening in front of that screen?

A significant share of enterprise security budgets goes toward DLP solutions. However, DLP coverage differs across network, endpoint, and cloud products, and the right selection criteria depend on an organization's data flows. This article reviews the types of DLP solutions and their adoption criteria, then compares the areas that AI-powered screen security can complement.
