The new communication channels have shifted the focus of the organizations from protecting systems to protecting data. Due to increasing incidences of data breaches and losses, the organizations are compelled to adopt stringent data loss prevention strategies.

Loss of data may happen on account of some error/accident or malicious activity, which can also lead to business and financial loss. Further, organizations may be fined with regulatory penalties in such cases.

The Data Loss Prevention (DLP) solutions, through central management framework protect and monitor data stored, transmitted through networks, and accessed at end point. Moreover, these solutions are intended to prevent inadvertent or intentional exposure of sensitive enterprise information.

The DLP market is characterized by changing product focus among vendors, as the data protection requirements vary from desktop, content, network and other application logging and masking.
