Re: [SLUG] Data Leakage Prevention and Detection

- first, you classify data Eg.engineering.doc is commercially sensitive or
customer_creditcard.xls is personal privacy
- setup rules in your DLP, likely to be an appliance box sitting behind the
firewall
- stops data from going out the LAN

sort of like an application aware firewall, but instead of look at ports, ip
addresses....etc it looks for the classification of the data (doc, xls, pdf,
email, IM....etc)
