Data Loss Prevention
NEW While every CSO and security manager knows the importance of protecting sensitive data, there is still a big gap between that understanding and the actual implementation of tools to do the job. A recent survey found that 42% of IT security and compliance professionals think their companies are doing a poor job of reducing the risk of data thefts. This lesson will provide a comprehensive overview of the ways in which data loss prevention technologies can help protect intellectual property and confidential data. Learn about the limitations and challenges involved in setting up and enforcing policies.
