Data Loss Prevention (DLP) is a security control aimed at highlighting when sensitive data leaves the corporate network or is accessed without authorisation. A DLP solution can be a great asset to a business and support a range of security goals and compliance. It can be an invaluable safety net which could save organisations from significant fines or brand damage.
This whitepaper aims to discuss the various benefits and pitfalls of DLP solutions currently available. It will also address how DLP can be integrated with cloud providers, given the ever-increasing demand to place data in the cloud.
