Data Protection; Endpoint vs SEA

BopBop

I am working in Data Protection policy for our company. I see from EndPoint I can do the data protection. Also from Sophos Email Appliance I can do the same policy.

My question

1)      Do I need both; Endpoint / SEA for data protection?

2)      What are the difference between Endpoint data protection and Sophos Email appliance data protection?

3)      If I have to choose one the other which one should I choose?

    Hello BopBop,

    the major difference is quite obvious - the appliance can of course only scan email, whereas with SESC you can also control transfer to removable storage, browser uploads and IM transfers. The SEA additionally offers encryption. I assume that otherwise the underlying technology is identical . 

    Thus the answer on 1) and 3) depends

    Edit: Coincidentally DLP crossed my way this morning and I came to the insight that the SEA has another advantage - it works no matter what OS and mail client is used (this excludes of course webmail).
