Cloud DLP

• Cloud DLP refers to Cloud Data Loss Prevention.
  It is a process that protects sensitive data that
  is in-transit or at rest or on endpoints. It
  reduces the probability of data theft and
  unauthorized access to it. Any cloud DLP solution
  prevents insecure storage, usage and transfer of
  data that is sensitive and confidential. It
  ensures that a business critical information is
  protected against cyber-attacks, insider threats
  as well as against any accidental exposure. Cloud
  Data Loss Prevention ensures sensitive datas
  visibility and protection in IaaS (Infrastructure
  as a Service) and SaaS (Software as a Service)
  applications.
• Cloud DLP solutions protect the data of
  businesses that are using cloud storage by not
  allowing sensitive data to enter the cloud
  without being encrypted. Moreover, it ensures
  that sensitive data is transmitted to authorized
  cloud applications. Usually these solutions
  either alter or remove sensitive data prior to
  sharing files in the cloud. This ensures the
  protection of data that is in transit as well as
  that which is stored in the cloud.
• To digress, cloud technology is used in cloud
  hosting, which is one of the types of web hosting
  services provided by web hosting companies.
  Websites are made accessible by this service.
  Those web hosting companies that excel in their
  services are referred to as the Best Web Hosting
  Company, the Top Cloud Hosting Company, the
  Best Windows Hosting Company etc.

Benefits of Cloud DLP

• The main benefits of any cloud DLP solution are
  mentioned below-
• Scans servers as well as identifies and encrypts
  sensitive data prior to sharing files in the
  cloud
• Scans the data that is stored in the cloud
• Discovers accurately sensitive data
• Audits data at any time
• Audits uploaded files continuously
• Applies controls (encrypt, prompt, block) to
  sensitive data automatically, based on policies
• Alerts instantly when data is at risk
• Maintains the required level of visibility and
  control with regard to data protection and
  privacy regulations.

Cloud DLPs Best Practices

• Cloud DLPs best practices are mentioned below,
  in no particular order.
• Data prioritization
• Data classification
• Being aware of the situations when data is at
  risk
• Monitoring data that is in motion
• Practising exact data matching
• Communicating as well as developing controls
• Training employees and providing guidance to
  reduce the probability of accidental data loss
• Application of new security controls, for any new
  cloud DLP program, to one subset of critical data
  to ensure simpler implementation and management
  of the cloud DLP solution.
