DLP, or Data Loss Prevention, is a cybersecurity strategy designed to prevent unauthorized access, use, or transmission of sensitive information. It employs various tools and policies to monitor, detect, and protect against data breaches or leaks. DLP solutions categorize sensitive data, such as personal or financial information, and enforce policies to ensure its secure handling. Techniques include encryption, access controls, and monitoring network traffic. DLP helps organizations comply with regulations, safeguard intellectual property, and maintain trust by mitigating the risks associated with data exposure.
