Data Leak Prevention Technology:
Data leak prevention technology keeps sensitive corporate data secure by identifying potential data breaches and helping to eliminate them. DLP software classifies, regulates confidential business data, and identifies data violations typically driven by regulatory compliance such as Federal laws, HIPAA, FINRA, and EU-GDPR. Once the violation or data breach is identified, DLP enforces immediate remedial measures such as alert messages, access restriction, and other measures that prevent end-users from sharing data that could put the organization in jeopardy.
What Is Data Leak Prevention?
Data leak prevention (DLP) combines the power of security tools and strategic processes to ensure that company’s confidential data is not lost, misused, or accessed by unauthorized users. Simply put, Data leak prevention is a strategy that makes sure that end users are not able to intentionally or accidentally destroy or steal the company’s data. The enterprise must have a data leak prevention policy so that all the access control are predefined and linked to the data.
This prevention strategy should be covered by the EFSS solution which you use to store and share organization files. With the correct data protection policies and systems, you will be able to reduce or eliminate data leak incidents.
