• How is Data Loss Prevention (DLP) currently defined?


• What are the current drivers for implementation of DLP technology?


• DLP answers three fundamental questions:
• Where is your confidential data?
• How is it being used?
• How do you prevent data loss?


• How do I find out where confidential data is stored; how can I create an inventory of sensitive data, and automatically manage data cleanup?

• How can I secure data and prevent confidential data from leaving the organization?


• How can I manage the data I have defined? How do I remediate and report on incidents, and detect content accurately.
