What Every CISO Should Know About How DLP Actually Works

For most CISOs, data loss prevention (DLP) has long been a familiar acronym. It’s a category of security technology that has been around for more than a decade, often associated with compliance and the need to keep regulated data under control. Yet while the concept sounds straightforward—preventing sensitive data from leaving the organization—the reality is that modern DLP platforms are far more sophisticated than their early predecessors.

The Hidden Risk in Enterprise AI, and the Smarter Way to Safeguard Data

AI exploded into the workplace overnight, reshaping how we work. Today, nearly every employee is experimenting with tools to move faster and think bigger. However, that acceleration comes with risk. According to Cyberhaven Labs’ latest research, nearly three-quarters of AI apps in use pose high or critical risks, and only 16% of enterprise data sent to AI ends up in enterprise-ready apps. The rest flows to personal or unvetted tools.

Insider Risk vs Insider Threat: What's the Difference?

In this video, we break down these two important but often-confused terms in cybersecurity. Insider risk refers to the potential for harm that comes from employees, contractors, or partners who have access to sensitive data — whether accidental or intentional. Insider threat is when that risk becomes an actual malicious or negligent action that puts your organization at risk.

What is Insider Risk Management?

In this video, we explain the basics of insider risk management — the practice of identifying, assessing, and reducing the risks that come from employees, contractors, or partners who have access to sensitive data. Insider risk management goes beyond traditional data loss prevention by addressing both malicious and accidental insider threats. From protecting intellectual property to preventing data leaks, insider risk management helps organizations secure their most valuable information.

What is Data Lineage?

In this video, we break down the concept of data lineage — a way to track how data moves, changes, and is used across your organization. Data lineage provides visibility into the lifecycle of sensitive information, from where it originates to where it flows, and who interacts with it. Understanding data lineage helps organizations improve security, ensure compliance, and reduce insider risk. Watch now to learn what data lineage is, why it matters, and how it helps protect your most valuable data.
