Data Loss Prevention (DLP)
Technologies and policies designed to detect and prevent unauthorized transmission of sensitive data outside an organization's network.
Data Loss Prevention (DLP) encompasses the tools, processes, and policies that prevent sensitive data from leaving an organization’s control, whether through email, file sharing, USB drives, or cloud uploads. DLP systems monitor data in motion (network traffic), data at rest (stored files), and data in use (endpoint activity).
DLP solutions can detect patterns like credit card numbers, social security numbers, or credentials being transmitted in plaintext. They can block the transmission, alert administrators, or encrypt the data automatically.
For teams, DLP intersects with password management when employees share credentials via email, Slack, or spreadsheets. A team password manager eliminates the need to transmit passwords through insecure channels, naturally reducing DLP violations.
