DLP (Data Loss Prevention) Projects

Data is the new black gold... oil. The key to remember is your most critical asset is data not the medium (hardware) it sits on. A laptop or MacBook worth £1000 may seem like a lot of money to lose to some folk but the true way of calculating asset value is what is stored on the USB stick, CD/DVD, laptop, server or desktop. Imagine you are a private hospital storing the medical records of politicians, sports people and royals. Such a leak of their private records would cause you massive issues as well as your clients.

DLP is software or a service which can optionally classify data by automated means, and then control if and how it can be egressed. Egress channels typically include: website uploads/copy & paste, USB devices, Bluetooth, emails, CD/DVD, and more. DLP can be rolled out in three ways: 1. a software agent like you would have antimalware on an endpoint. 2. network, which is either a software or hardware appliance. 3. specific, a module inside your email gateway, cloud provider or website filtering gateway.
