How does DLP monitor data in motion, such as during email transmissions or file sharing, to detect and block sensitive information being transmitted outside the organization?
Data Loss Prevention (DLP) monitors data in motion by employing various techniques to detect and block sensitive information being transmitted outside the organization. This is achieved through deep packet inspection, content filtering, and encryption detection methods. DLP solutions analyze the content of emails, file transfers, and other forms of data transmission in real-time, looking for patterns, keywords, file types, or predetermined criteria that match sensitive information. When such data is detected, the DLP system can block or quarantine the transmission, alert administrators, or apply other predetermined actions to prevent data loss.
