In this post, I will talk about network data loss prevention (DLP), its importance, and some available dlp solutions. I have written some articles in the past about data, read through the blog to get updated.
What is network dlp?
While data is in motion, network data loss prevention (DLP) software monitors, detects and potentially prevents sensitive data leaks. Network DLP is used to prevent critical information from being transferred outside of the corporate network. It is enforced in some regulated industries where compliance requirements exist to ensure organizations can demonstrate adequate care has been taken to prevent the loss or theft of confidential and sensitive information.
Why is Network Data Loss Prevention (DLP) Important?
- Network data loss prevention (DLP) is important to support compliance, protect intellectual property (IP), and ensure employee security awareness.
- Network DLP is important for detecting and preventing data loss, as well as preventing malicious insiders from intentionally leaking data from the corporate network.

Network data loss prevention is needed in the following instances:
- To prevent compliance policy violation.
- To ensure there is no data leakage in the enterprise.
- To ensure the protection of intellectual property rights.
- To Ensure right notification in case of unintentional violation by an employee to prevent further violation.
