CurrentWare Data Loss Prevention vs Kitecyber DLP

CurrentWare Data Loss Prevention is endpoint software for controlling device, website, application, and AI-tool risks while monitoring file transfers and retaining audit evidence in one console. Its agent monitors copying, pasting, printing, screen capture, and writes to removable media, including when endpoints are outside the corporate network. AccessPatrol can block, allow, or make read-only access for storage and connection types such as USB, external drives, SD cards, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, and mobile devices. File logs can include the user, machine, time, filename, and destination for files copied, moved, renamed, or deleted. BrowseControl and AccessPatrol can block transfers to unmanaged cloud apps. Endpoint clients support Windows, macOS, and Linux; the console can be hosted in CurrentWare Cloud or on a customer server. Plans list AccessPatrol (Standalone) at $12 a month, billed annual, and the Full CurrentWare Suite at $20 a month. A 14-day trial is available, but there is no free plan. Subscriptions include updates and direct support.

Kitecyber DLP, built around Data Shield, classifies and tracks sensitive information and can stop it leaving endpoints, web activity, and SaaS applications. Endpoint DLP discovers and classifies data, controls USB devices and external drives, and alerts on sensitive copy-and-paste actions. Data lineage tracking and exfiltration alerts show where sensitive information moves. Network DLP monitors activity, warns about sensitive uploads and downloads, and includes SWG functionality. Controls can block transfers to unsanctioned SaaS and Gen AI applications. Kitecyber describes one lightweight endpoint agent without cloud gateways. Pro includes discovery, device controls, lineage, alerts, and Network DLP. Enterprise adds compliance reporting and automation for SOC 2, ISO, PCI, HIPAA, and GDPR, plus a four-hour connectivity-support SLA. Pro costs $144.00 per user per year when billed annually; Enterprise costs $180.00 per user per year. The service runs on Linux, macOS, and Windows, with cloud deployment.
