DLP (Data Loss Prevention)
When any media comprising sensitive data is missing and is accessed by an unauthorized person we call that a data loss. Nevertheless, a data leak is also possible without the loss of data from the source. The technology employed to deal with these data leakage incidents is called DLP (Data Loss Prevention).
Every organization has some amount of sensitive data that it needs to be protected. Moreover, the amount of data present worldwide is observed to be doubling almost every two years. This explosive data growth has benefits as well as implications. The trend of adopting social and mobile handling of data by organizations has empowered them to make use of their existing data better. It has also helped them generate and analyze new streams of data for greater and more effective insights. However this trend comes with some daunting implications, predominantly for the IT field. It has given rise to a shifting data landscape that’s more prone to data leakage and needs adequate data loss protection.
Data loss prevention in the present business environment is not anymore as simple as blocking outsider’s access to your networks. The widespread use of cloud storage has made it even more complex. Therefore DLP today not only requires both the location and classification of data, it also calls for continuous data monitoring – whether it is at rest, in motion, or in use. This requires comprehensive and efficient data loss protection solutions that can take up growing challenging. This solution should primarily meet the real-time demands of modern enterprises.
