Episode 32 — Deploy Data Loss Prevention Concepts: Purpose, Types, and Integration with IAM
Data Loss Prevention (DLP) acts as a final safety net for sensitive information, and this episode deconstructs its purpose, types, and integration with Identity and Access Management (IAM). We define DLP as a set of controls designed to detect and stop risky data movement across endpoints, email, cloud storage, and networks. The discussion describes the specific data classes targeted by DLP, such as personal, financial, and proprietary data. You will learn how IAM supports DLP by ensuring only authorized users can touch sensitive files before the DLP rules even evaluate the movement. We identify common pitfalls, such as overly strict rules that block legitimate work, and offer quick wins like starting with monitoring before moving to blocking.
