Episode 93 — Data Loss Prevention — Duplication, Access, and Disclosure Controls

Certified - CompTIA Server+ Audio Course

This episode focuses on data loss prevention (DLP) strategies used to protect sensitive information from unauthorized access, duplication, or disclosure. We explain how DLP technologies monitor data movement across networks, block risky transfers, and enforce encryption requirements. Access controls, role assignments, and policy enforcement are discussed as key elements in a complete DLP framework.

Practical examples include preventing customer data from being emailed outside the organization, blocking USB storage device usage, and monitoring cloud file-sharing activities. Troubleshooting scenarios address false positives in DLP policies, balancing security with productivity, and aligning configurations with compliance mandates. Mastering DLP concepts ensures candidates can protect critical data while maintaining operational efficiency.
