DLP

Data loss prevention (DLP) refers to information security tools and practices that identify sensitive data such as personal information, financial records and intellectual property, and detect or block its movement or sharing when it violates policy. DLP products typically operate on networks, endpoint devices, email and cloud storage.

Core functions include data classification, content inspection and policy-based blocking or alerts. With generative AI, prompts and file uploads to AI services are also treated as data paths that DLP monitors.
