What is Data Loss Prevention (DLP)?

What is DLP, and why is it critical to modern cybersecurity? In this video, we break down Data Loss Prevention—also known as DLP—into simple terms. You'll learn how DLP works, what kinds of sensitive data it protects, and why organizations use it to prevent data leaks, insider threats, and accidental exposure of confidential information. Whether you're new to data security or looking to level up your InfoSec knowledge, this is the perfect starting point to understand how DLP fits into your broader cybersecurity strategy.

We’ll also explore how DLP tools monitor data in motion, at rest, and in use—across endpoints, networks, and cloud services—to enforce policies and prevent unauthorized access or sharing. Plus, we’ll give real-world examples of data breaches that could have been avoided with proper DLP controls in place.
