Code42 announces new loss detection and response capabilities
Code42 announced its data loss protection solution that includes advanced exposure dashboards and expanded alerting functionality to help companies protect data from loss when employees quit. 

The company also introduced an integration with IBM Resilient, a platform for orchestrating and automating incident response processes.

The reality is when employees quit jobs they take data with them, and legacy data loss prevention systems are not sounding a single alarm,” said Rob Juncker, Code42’s senior vice president of product. “Code42 Next-Gen Data Loss Protection tells companies what data is leaving and when — so they aren’t finding out proprietary information left months after the damage is done.”
