Data Loss Prevention

Fraud prevention allows organizations to understand current risks and have visibility into potential insider attacks.

In Kéntro. We help companies establish comprehensive data loss prevention plans by developing an appropriate strategy to deal with incidents.

Data loss prevention (DLP)—sometimes called data loss prevention, information loss prevention, and extrusion prevention—is a strategy to prevent people from accessing sensitive information they don't need. It also ensures that employees do not send sensitive or critical information outside of the corporate network. Although sensitive information can be deliberately leaked or stolen by a malicious employee or by external cybercriminals, research shows that most data loss is caused by an inadvertent mistake by insiders.

Methodology

In this part we help companies identify their priority assets. Companies can’t protect what they don’t know they have.

We advise organizations to define and establish a data classification framework.

The next step after classifying the data is to create policies for its handling.

Multiple DLP across different departments and business units leads to inconsistent protection and lack of a complete picture of the network.
