Enterprises need to understand how Data Leak Protection (DLP) impacts their organization due to the danger of someone inadvertently or accidentally releasing data that can result in financial and reputational repercussions. Gartner estimates that 60% of the data leakages occur as a result of negligence not nefarious intent. My latest column in SecurityWeek covers best practices when it comes to DLP adoption and implementation, focusing on email, the most likely vector of leakage
For example, the article covers the two main classes of DLP, enterprise DLP (E-DLP) and single channel (C-DLP), and the associated best practices and adoption channels in the following areas:
- Specific capabilities of E-DLP and C-DLP
- Cloud based challenges associated with DLP
- Virtualization strategies
- Best use cases for email related DLP
