Data Loss Prevention (DLP) is a technology used to protect sensitive data from unauthorized access, use, or disclosure. It is a subset of IT security that focuses on preventing the intentional or unintentional leakage of confidential information. DLP solutions typically include a combination of software, hardware, and processes to identify, monitor, and protect data. DLP solutions are used to protect data stored on computers, networks, and in the cloud. They can also be used to monitor data in transit, such as emails, web traffic, and file transfers. DLP solutions can be used to detect and block unauthorized access to data, as well as to alert administrators when data is accessed or moved in an unauthorized manner. DLP solutions are used by organizations of all sizes to protect their sensitive data from malicious actors, accidental data loss, and compliance violations. They are also used to ensure that data is used in accordance with the organization's policies and procedures. Some companies in the DLP market include Symantec, McAfee, Trend Micro, Check Point, Forcepoint, and Digital Guardian. Show Less Read more
