DLP

Data Loss Prevention — detects and blocks sensitive data from leaving the organization.

DLP inspects content against classification rules to stop sensitive data — PII, source code, financials — from leaving via email, web upload, USB, or cloud sync. It is only as good as the data classification behind it: garbage in, garbage out. Endpoint, network, and cloud DLP each cover a different egress path, so coverage gaps appear when only one is deployed.
