Data Loss Prevention

This podcast explains the concept of DLP and its various aspects. It starts off by defining DLP as a set of tools and procedures that stop unauthorized people from accessing or misusing sensitive data.

The podcast then explores different types of DLP systems, including network-based, endpoint-based, and cloud-based solutions, and examines the various stages data can be in – at rest, in motion, and in use – and how DLP can protect data in each stage.

The podcast also outlines various DLP controls, classified as governance controls, people controls, and IT controls, to ensure data protection. Lastly, the guide discusses the limitations of DLP solutions, particularly when it comes to classifying graphic files and the challenges in detecting sensitive data embedded within images.
