DLP is a security measure that helps organizations prevent sensitive information such as personal data, intellectual property, financial information and confidential business information from being accidentally or intentionally leaked or stolen.
DLP includes a set of technologies, processes and policies designed to protect data from unauthorized access, use, copying or transfer. For example, it may include restrictions on sharing sensitive information via e-mail or blocking access to certain websites known to host malicious software.
For example, DLP can prevent employees from sending certain data to their personal e-mail address. DLP’s goal is to ensure that company data remains secure and to prevent it from falling into the wrong hands.
