DLP Data Loss Prevention

Data Loss Prevention (DLP) is a cybersecurity strategy and set of tools designed to detect, monitor, and protect sensitive data from unauthorized access, misuse, or accidental exposure. DLP solutions work by identifying and classifying critical information, such as personal data, intellectual property, or financial records, and applying security policies to prevent this data from leaving a secure environment or being accessed by unauthorized individuals. They operate across networks, endpoints, cloud storage, and applications to monitor data flows and prevent leaks, often through encryption, access control, and real-time monitoring. DLP is essential for organizations aiming to comply with data privacy regulations, protect customer and employee data, and reduce the risk of data breaches, ultimately safeguarding their reputation and trustworthiness.
