    Guardium Advanced Activity Monitoring for Files is an older name for the product, which comes with an obsolete licensing model. It is not used anymore.

    Hi Frederic

    MDE is for encrypting the files at rest. It supports both on Prem and
    encryption across multiple cloud platforms. It supports advanced features
    like cryptographic splitting so files can be striped across the clouds.
    This way access to multiple cloud storage locations has to be access to
    access the data. Not one cloud vendor or cloud user has access to the data
    without the other. It’s added layers of protection.
    It provides encryption and access control. This is data at rest protection.


    Guardium DP for files formally known as FAM is for real time file
    monitoring. This is data in flight protection. Although encryption is a
    very important strategy it doesn’t provide much insight or protection once
    a user has the right credentials. We must always assume credentials and
    access will be compromised at some point. Real time monitoring is needed
    for audit trails for compliance regulations. Real time notification of
    access and ability to provide real time blocking. Guardium provides outlier
    and anomaly detection for user behavior analytics. It allows you to
    reconcile access of users and files. Integrations with cyberark and
    ServiceNow to reconcile generic and service IDs.

    I hope this helps

    Apologies I read this as MDE not MCDP. 
    One is for cloud one is for On Prem. 
    Advanced referred to the older model as there is no standard vs advanced anymore.
