Data loss prevention (DLP) involves a set of processes and technologies that ensure sensitive data is not lost, misused, or accessed by unauthorized users. As remote work, cloud computing, and other trends continue to move companies further into digital space, the need to build effective data loss prevention strategies becomes increasingly important. Two core concepts lay the foundation for an effective approach to data loss prevention: sensitive data discovery and data classification. Unfortunately, many DLP data classification tools miss the mark on these key points. To create effective data ..read more

Data loss prevention (DLP) is an overarching term for programs, policies, and procedures related to data protection measures taken by a company. In order to protect customers and remain in compliance with various regulations, it is imperative that organizations take necessary steps to secure data from loss or leakage. Securing data can often be challenging for organizations of all sizes. Part of this stems from the fact that it’s not always clear who holds the responsibility for creating and maintaining effective data loss prevention policies, particularly for devices. With that in mind, here ..read more

If your organization collects, uses, or stores sensitive data, a thorough data loss prevention (DLP) strategy is vital to your business interests. Threats like data breaches, data leaks, or data exfiltration can cost your organization precious time and money. Even if your organization has recognized the need for a comprehensive DLP plan, what that plan looks like will depend on the needs of your company. More specifically, should your company manage DLP services internally, or should you consider DLP as a service? This article will shed light on different approaches to DLP services and provide ..read more

A data loss prevention (DLP) strategy is crucial to protecting your organization’s sensitive data. Unfortunately, many organizations overlook the importance of protecting data at rest and instead focus their resources to protect data during other stages of its lifecycle. These gaps in security can lead to data breaches, data exfiltration, and other scenarios that can result in significant financial and reputational harm. Here’s what you need to know about data at rest, and why your organization’s DLP strategy needs to account for sensitive data no matter where it lives. What is a DLP strategy ..read more

When protecting sensitive data, you need a comprehensive plan with a set of tools to deal with both internal and external threats. However, organizations often lack many of the pieces necessary to solve the complete data security puzzle. This results in security gaps, possible compliance problems, and unnecessary challenges in day-to-day operations. Fortunately, by creating effective data security policies and implementing the best tools to enforce those policies, you can shore up your defenses and create an intelligent security framework. Common shortcomings in DLP strategies The costs of dat ..read more

An essential component of any organization’s data loss prevention process is the implementation of a robust Data Loss Prevention (DLP) strategy. One component of an effective DLP strategy is the application of a DLP solution that can scan areas where data resides, analyzing content and monitoring channels and endpoints to ensure that sensitive data is not shared outside of the corporate network. If you have already implemented a DLP solution as part of your DLP strategy, you may assume that it will perfectly align with your organization’s compliance with the Zero Trust framework. After all, sh ..read more

With the rise of remote work, we’re seeing more organizations roll out permanent work-from-home plans or provide the flexibility for their team to work remotely. While many organizations reap the benefits of remote work—like reduced overhead for employers, as well as increased productivity and greater work-life balance for employees—there are also data security hurdles to overcome. Employers can no longer rely on location-based security systems to prevent data loss. In a traditional office setting, on-premise security systems may suffice, and monitoring the movement of data within an organizat ..read more

Data loss is a ubiquitous problem across enterprises. Deploying data loss prevention solutions targeted to specific environments and their potential risks can help ensure that sensitive data is protected wherever it exists, whether it’s on the move or stored for future use. What is DLP? Data loss prevention (DLP) is a process for protecting enterprise data from loss or malicious compromise. DLP also helps organizations remain compliant with the privacy regulations their data is subject to and provides comprehensive data visibility. Because of this, it is an integral component to an overarching ..read more
