Stop Accidental Data Loss | Prevent Misdirected Emails

Why does accidental data loss matter?

On average, a 1,000-employee organization sends out 800 misdirected emails in a year.

Simple errors like typing in a wrong email recipient or attaching the wrong file containing sensitive data can result in serious consequences. Misdirected emails are a big challenge to enterprises as these are largely under-reported. Accidental data loss through misdirected email and wrong attachments results in loss of trust and reputation, financial and compliance implications.

The Challenge

Why Legacy DLP Solutions Fail to Address The Problem

Restricted by Rules

Rule-based DLP tools detect sensitive data strictly based on predefined data classification policies, filters and dictionaries.

But, what happens if the sensitive data being shared over email has not been classified, or authorized data is shared with the wrong party? Rules have no way of detecting the right receivers or autocorrect errors.
Create More Work for Administrators

Rule-based approaches that try to limit sharing of legitimate data are restrictive and typically impact productivity due to their high number of alerts.

For administrators, creating manual rules for every foreseeable use case is not only resource-intensive but can also lead to data blindspots.
Deliver Poor User Experiences

Traditional approaches to accidental data loss have come at the expense of user experience; annoying and unintelligent pop-ups cause alert fatigue and end-user frustrations.

Tessian only alerts people when a mistake is about to be made. It automatically flags misdirected emails and misattached files in-the-moment.

Accidental Data Loss Prevention

Tessian’s Intelligent Approach to Accidental Data Loss Prevention

Prevent misdirected emails and attachment errors

Tessian ensures that emails reach the right recipients. It leverages historical data to map email relationships with context, deep content inspection, and behavioral analysis, to automatically detect when an error has been made. End-users are alerted in-the-moment, and these warnings contain the information they need to remedy their mistakes before the email is sent.

Easy and effective data loss prevention

Insights and analytics within Tessian’s Risk Hub makes compliance reporting easy. Administrators can readily filter, view, and track accidental data loss events prevented by type – either misdirected email or misattached/wrong files – using the Risk Hub portal and, consequently, mitigate events.

Non-disruptive experience to build trust with end-users

Contextual warning messages alert end-users to the error – wrong recipients and attachments – before the email is sent. Tessian only alerts end-users when a mistake is about to be made, meaning it is non-intrusive and does not disrupt people’s productivity.
