Data Loss Prevention

What is Data Loss Prevention?

Adaptive data loss prevention (A-DLP or DLP) is a simple solution that allows enterprises to get better control of their essential information and gain more visibility while preventing business interruptions. In terms of both incoming and departing information flows, DLP has the unique capability of removing particularly sensitive and harmful content as it passes across the network, all without the need for delays, human involvement, or quarantine.

It allows good information to reach where it needs to go while totally halting, redacting, and/or cleansing unwanted or dangerous stuff. DLP accomplishes this without raising alarms, preventing IT teams from becoming overburdened with false positives.

Causes of Data Leaks

Three common causes of data leaks are:

  • Insider threats A bad insider or an attacker who has gained access to a privileged user account exploits their privileges and seeks to transport data outside the business.
  • Extrusion by attackers Sensitive data is the target of numerous cyber attacks. Attackers breach the security perimeter by employing techniques such as phishing, malware, and code injection to get access to sensitive data.
  • Unintentional or negligent data exposure Many data breaches occur as a result of employees leaving sensitive data out in the open, providing open Internet access to data, or failing to restrict access in accordance with corporate regulations.

Why is data loss prevention important?

As a result, a data loss prevention strategy is essential for securing your data, protecting intellectual property, and remaining compliance with legislation. DLP solutions ensure that confidential/classified data in your firm is not lost, mistreated, or accessed by unauthorized individuals.

Organizations typically use DLP to:

  • Protect Personally Identifiable Information (PII) and comply with relevant regulations.
  • Protect Intellectual Property critical for the organization.
  • Secure data on remote cloud systems.
  • Secure mobile workforce and enforce security in Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) environments.
  • Achieve data visibility in large organizations.

Benefits of data loss prevention

There are many benefits of data loss prevention features:

Monitoring data consumption and location is possible thanks to well-enforced data loss prevention regulations backed up by cutting-edge data loss prevention technologies.

Employees and other authorized users with access to sensitive information may benefit from DLP to prevent theft or inadvertent disclosure. Internal employees' browsing, corporate communications, and related activities should be monitored, and risky or ineffective actions should be prevented.

Enterprise data loss prevention can help safeguard against lawsuits while also preventing loss of credibility, reputation, and money.

Enterprise data loss prevention systems assist in mitigating the additional risk of data loss posed by BYOD and situating organizations and data in the cloud.

Data loss protection software allows for the recording of security events, which can be used to establish employee malfeasance or undertake the forensic investigation.

Data loss prevention technology automatically encrypts sensitive data.
