Endpoint agent: Non-intrusive monitoring and enforcement software installed on client machines. The agent receives policy and fingerprint updates from the server and sends back incident details.

Network agent: Refers to each DLP Network Monitor device. The agent must be registered with the DLP management server to be able to monitor network traffic.

Management server: An appliance that handles the overall administration of the solution, and stores all relevant data and configurations.

Remote crawler: Scans for digital assets stored on desktops and laptops even if users are not connected to the company network. The remote crawler can acquire fingerprints for files stored on systems other than the management server and forwards generated fingerprints to the management server. This protects files stored locally (on computers where the Remote Crawler is installed) or in a document management environment that the server may or may not have access to.

Web console: Supports an administrative workflow for defining digital assets, creating confidential rules, deploying policies to agents, performing data discovery scans, monitoring, and reporting.
