Data Leakage Prevention (DLP)

Data Leakage Prevention (DLP)

Data Leakage Prevention tools and processes aim to detect and prevent unauthorised transfer or exposure of sensitive data, whether intentional or accidental. They operate across endpoints, networks and cloud services. Consensus is that DLP is most effective when driven by clear classification and governance, and when tuned to avoid excessive noise that leads to alert fatigue and user workarounds.
