Traditional Data Loss Prevention (DLP) solutions often fail to secure data in modern cloud environments. The core problem is that encrypted traffic, Shadow IT, and personal browser tools create significant blind spots for legacy security systems. To combat this, a robust, layered defense strategy is required.

This involves combining three key technologies: Cloud Access Security Brokers (CASBs) for visibility and control over sanctioned and unsanctioned SaaS applications, Next-Generation Endpoint DLP for granular, OS-level monitoring of user actions like copy-pasting or file transfers, and Secure Web Gateways (SWGs) to inspect all encrypted web traffic. By integrating these solutions, organizations can enforce context-aware policies, prevent sensitive data exfiltration through web forms and personal cloud storage, and gain comprehensive protection against modern data loss vectors.
