What Is Data Loss Prevention (DLP)?

Data Loss Prevention (DLP) is a set of strategies and tools designed to detect, monitor, and prevent the unauthorized transmission, sharing, or destruction of sensitive data. DLP solutions use content inspection, contextual analysis, and centralized policy management to identify and protect critical business information — including intellectual property, financial records, personally identifiable information (PII), and regulated data — across endpoints, networks, emails, and cloud environments. Modern DLP platforms combine machine learning, user behavior analytics, and automated response to provide comprehensive data protection with minimal operational friction.
