Data Loss Prevention: Best tools to protect your data

Current Scenario

The enormous growth in internet usage, the technological transformation, and advanced methods of tracking and monitoring your information has led to the risk of manipulating your data. But, it has also led to the use of data loss prevention methods to prevent personal & business database manipulation.

What is Data Loss Prevention?

Data Loss Prevention and Protection can be termed as a strategy used by organizations to protect and ensure sensitive information is not leaked outside the pre-defined limits.
It is also used to describe software tools which help an IT administrator to control end-user data transfer.

What does the Data Loss Prevention Tool do?

A data loss prevention tool protects the end-points and securely prevents leakage. While these tools may not be able to protect the information from the hackers; it will at least prevent the internal data leakage.
Data Loss Prevention tools or as they are more commonly known “DLP” are generally categorized into two types.
  1. Enterprise DLP– These tools are packaged in software for servers and desktops, virtual & physical appliances for monitoring email traffic & networks
  2. Integrated DLP– It is limited to cloud access security brokers (CASBs), enterprise content management (ECM) platforms, secure web gateways (SWGs), email encryption products, data filtering tools, and discovery tools.
