What is data loss prevention, and how can it be prevented?  

Data Loss Prevention (DLP) is an important security measure that enables organizations to protect their sensitive and confidential data from unauthorized access, use, or disclosure.   

DLP involves a variety of technologies and processes that work together to: 

• Identify and protect valuable data. 
• Monitor user activities. 
• Enforcing policies to make sure the data remains secure. 

• Ensure compliance with laws, regulations, or internal policies. 

With malicious cyberattacks becoming more common and sophisticated, businesses need a solid strategy to prevent potential threats. Unfortunately, data breaches, cybercrime, and data loss are up 600% since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020.  

Luckily, there are things that you can do at your organization to keep your information safe. Using DLP systems, organizations can reduce the risk of data breaches, which can have significant financial and operational implications.
