Data
Loss Prevention (DLP) safeguards an organization's confidential
and sensitive data-referred to as digital assets-against accidental
disclosure and intentional theft. DLP allows you to:
-
Identify the digital assets to protect
-
Create policies that limit or prevent the transmission of
digital assets through common channels, such as email and external
devices
-
Enforce compliance to established privacy standards
DLP evaluates data against a set of rules defined in policies.
Policies determine the data that must be protected from unauthorized
transmission and the action that DLP performs when it detects transmission.
