Data Loss Prevention (DLP) is a set of tools and processes that help prevent sensitive business data from leaking out due to user negligence. mishandling of data or even malicious intent while complying with the data protection regulations in force (Law 25 in Quebec).<\/p>\n

Data can leave the enterprise through two main groups of channels: local channels (eg devices such as printers and USB drives) and network channels (eg email, web and social networks). Although some DLP solutions only monitor network streams, it is best to monitor both local and network channels to ensure effective data loss prevention.<\/p>\n

In this article we will see how data loss prevention (DLP) works, what types of threats are related to it, what are the best practices in this area and what types of solutions are there.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n

How DLP works :<\/h2>\n

DLP related tools take the form of encryption, detection. They can also take the form of preventive measures and machine learning to assess users’ risk scores. DLP solutions use data classification labels and tags, content inspection techniques, and contextual analytics to identify sensitive content and analyze actions related to the use of that content.<\/p>\n

The most complex thing is to identify sensitive data, because it can exist in different states in the company’s infrastructure. We identify 3 types of data:<\/p>\n
