DLO (Data Loss Prevention)

Data Loss Prevention (DLP) is a set of tools and policies designed to ensure sensitive information stays secure and isn't accidentally or maliciously shared outside an organization. It monitors data in motion (being sent), at rest (stored), and in use (being accessed or edited). DLP systems identify confidential data like personal info or trade secrets, prevent unauthorized leaks, and help enforce compliance with regulations. Essentially, it acts like a security guard for data, safeguarding critical information from loss, theft, or exposure while allowing authorized access.
