DATA LEAKAGE / DATA LOSS PREVENTION

The EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) requires that personal data and particularly sensitive data, are not accessible to unauthorized persons. One of the possible measures are solutions within Data Leakage / Data Loss Prevention (DLP). DLP solutions protect the company's sensitive information on e-mail, web-mail, IM, USB and CD/DVD against access by unauthorized persons.

Solutions within this area are generally built around rule-based encryption. All information stored and in transit is protected. It can be e.g. personal information, customer, client or patient information, and information on the purchase or sale of listed companies etc.

DLP Solutions at Different Levels

DLP solutions are available at different levels:

• Device level
• Document level
• Mail Gateway level
• Firewall level
