Data Leak Prevention (DLP) services are security solutions developed to prevent organizations’ confidential and sensitive data from being leaked without permission. These services perform monitoring, detection and protection operations on the environments where data is stored (such as file servers), on the platforms where it is transferred (such as web, e-mail, instant messaging, FTP) and on user devices (computers, USB sticks, etc.). To ensure data security, DLP systems analyze data in detail using techniques such as “deep content analysis”. In addition, DLP services work in harmony with content filtering solutions, strengthening data security and preventing potential leaks. In this way, organizations can increase their security by preventing sensitive data from leaking out.
Advantages of a Data Leak Prevention Solution
Preventing Data Leaks
DLP prevents accidental or intentional leakage of sensitive data. This prevents companies from exposing important information and privacy breaches.
Ensuring Compliance
DLP solutions help meet regulatory compliance requirements such as GDPR, HIPAA, PCI-DSS. It enables companies to comply with data protection standards and legal requirements.
Protection against Internal Threats
DLP protects against both external attacks and internal threats (employee errors or malicious behavior). This addresses data security in a holistic way.
Data Monitoring and Auditing
DLP solutions monitor which users and devices are accessing, sharing and exfiltrating data. This makes it easier to detect suspicious activity and intervene immediately.
Protection of Sensitive Data
It helps companies protect sensitive information such as financial information, personal data, health data. This minimizes the risk of data loss and misuse.
Data Encryption and Restriction
DLP applies security measures such as encryption, restriction and data deletion to ensure that data is protected against unauthorized access. This increases the security of data while ensuring that users only access the necessary data.
