Data Loss Prevention (DLP)

Data Loss Prevention (DLP) is a security capability designed to identify, monitor, and protect sensitive data from unauthorized access, disclosure, or exfiltration across endpoints, networks, cloud services, and applications. DLP ensures that critical business and personal data remains secure—wherever it is created, stored, or transmitted.

This service is ideal for enterprises, financial institutions, healthcare organizations, cloud-first businesses, and regulated industries that handle sensitive information such as personal data, intellectual property, financial records, and regulated data. DLP addresses business challenges including data breaches, insider threats, accidental data leakage, cloud data sprawl, and regulatory non-compliance, helping organizations protect their most valuable digital assets.
