Oh for financial firms, you want data-centric tools that protect the data itself, not just the perimeter, and that automate encryption so it isn&#39;t dependent on people remembering. Varonis is highly rated and a strong fit here, it automatically discovers and classifies sensitive data, monitors access, and enforces controls, which is exactly the regulated-finance use case. Virtru is well-liked for automated encryption of email and files based on policy, so customer data gets protected without manual steps. Imperva&#39;s Data Security Fabric is worth a look on the database side, protecting the structured customer data that financial systems run on. To be real, in finance the audit and compliance reporting matters as much as the encryption, so I&#39;d confirm each maps to your specific regulations (like GLBA or PCI). Are you protecting data mostly in databases, in files and email, or across all of it?
