Data Loss Prevention (DLP) is about stopping unauthorized access, sharing, or loss of sensitive information. It helps organizations keep their data safe, follow rules, and prevent incidents like ransomware attacks. DLP focuses on: 1. Protecting Personally Identifiable Information (PII) to meet regulations. 2. Safeguarding crucial Intellectual Property. 3. Ensuring a clear view of data in large organizations. 4. Securing mobile work setups, especially in Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) scenarios. 5. Keeping data safe in remote cloud systems.
