When dealing with DLP Endpoint agents in windows, sometimes the performance can be less than ideal.
Here are some scenarios:
Delays when burning a CD/DVD, in particular because optical media is slower and some burning software doesn't appreciate being delayed
Delays when writing data to removable drives.
We work around some of these by instituting procedures to force all outgoing data through a data transfer agent who is trained and will complete the task on a machine without a DLP agent. This causes heartburn for users who are used to writing data on demand to external media, it costs time and money to funnel all data this way, but it does have some security/DLP benefits.
So the question I have is this:
Does anyone have experience trying to increase scan speeds, maybe using the agent config to either increase the CPU usage or something else? I have a feeling the bottleneck is drive IO, but I'll take any suggestions or experiences that may be useful.
Any ideas about making things less painful to end users?
