DLP works by identifying, monitoring, and protecting data through various methods:
Data Identification: DLP solutions use data classification techniques to categorize data based on its sensitivity and importance. Data Monitoring: Continuous monitoring of data in transit, at rest, and in use to detect unauthorized access or suspicious activities. Data Protection: Implementing encryption, access controls, and other security measures to safeguard data. Policy Enforcement: Enforcing security policies to ensure compliance and mitigate risks.
