Data Loss Prevention (DLP) safeguards an organization's confidential and sensitive
data, referred to as digital assets, against accidental disclosure and intentional
theft. DLP
allows you to:
-
Identify the digital assets to protect
-
Create policies that limit or prevent the transmission of digital assets through email
-
Enforce compliance to established privacy standards
DLP evaluates data against a set of rules defined in policies. Policies determine
the data that
must be protected from unauthorized transmission and the action that DLP performs
when it detects
transmission.
With DLP, Cloud Email Gateway
Protection allows you to manage your incoming email
messages containing sensitive data and protects your organization against data loss
by monitoring
your outbound email messages.
