Definitions, challenges, and implementation tips from the trenches. [PDF] Over the last few years, you’ve heard a lot from information executives, consultants and vendors about data loss prevention, an emerging discipline that aims to keep business-critical, private information from falling into the wrong hands. If it’s all left you scratching your head, there’s a reason. Businesses are looking for a way to prevent the loss of data, conceptually, while vendors are offering the acronym-friendly Data Loss Prevention (DLP). The disconnect between the two things has led to a fair amount of confusion.There are subtle but critical differences between the prevention of data loss, a business imperative, and DLP, the product set. DLP tools, implemented correctly with the right processes in place, can indeed help prevent the loss of data.
