DLP Content Discovery: Best Practices for Stored Data Discovery and Protection

One of the most promising techniques to help reduce this risk is labelled Data Loss Prevention (DLP). While most people think of network monitors when they hear "DLP", the truth is that DLP tools are often as valuable when used to protect data at rest, rather than only data in motion. The modern enterprise is a veritable ocean of unmanaged information. Despite many years, and many dollars, invested in gaining some control over the massive volumes of content generated by employees, customers, and business operations, few organizations have a clear idea where their sensitive information is located, or how it's secured.
