While anti-malware and other endpoint security technologies are able to detect and stop external attacks, other risks for organizations’ data — insider-related ones — are gaining momentum. One common example is end users unknowingly releasing data to unauthorized parties (e.g., by forwarding an email). This can occur due to accidental employee mistakes, IT misconfigurations, or through malicious insiders — all of which can pose a severe threat to organizations — leading to the costliest data breaches.
What is DLP?
Data loss prevention is a long-established category of security solutions, representing systems of integrated information security technologies that detect and prevent unauthorized use, transmission and storage of confidential, sensitive data.

DLP Controls:
Each data flow in an organization has its context and content.
The context refers to environmental factors such as the users involved in a data flow, the channels being used, the direction of the flow, etc. The content describes the actual type/category of information being transferred — e.g., patient health records, employee PII, etc. Define your own DLP policies based on Context and Content.
