DLP stands for Data Loss Prevention
The process of stealing data loss is prevented by “monitoring, detecting and blocking”. This avoids data leaks during “network traffic – in motion”, “in use – endpoint action” and “at rest – data storage”. The term “data loss and data leaks” are same and it can be used interchangeably.
There are various other technical terminologies associated with data leak are “ILDP – Information Leak Detection and Protection”, “ILP – Information Leak Protection”, “CMF – Content Monitoring and Filtering”, “IPC – Information and Protection Control”, “EPS – Extrusion prevent system”, etc.
