Defense strategies have evolved as hackers have changed their schemes, and one new approach companies are putting into practice for their security plan is data-centric security.

This means data should be secure at all points regardless of where it is stored, processed, or where it is in transit.
Some of the most damaging data leaks have resulted from poor database security. In March 2020, 10.88 billion records were stolen from adult video streaming website CAM4’s cloud storage servers.

And, in April 2021, 533 million users had their information compromised when a Facebook database was leaked on the dark web for free.
Endpoint data loss prevention (DLP) discovers, classifies, and protects sensitive data – like PII, credit card numbers, and secrets – that proliferates onto endpoint devices, like your computer or EC2 machines. This is a way to help keep data safe, so that you can detect and stop occurrences of data exfiltration. Our endpoint DLP application will be composed of two core services that will run locally.
