It is about knowing how your business runs, what data and apps are vital for it to add value to its customers, while fostering a strong risk management strategy to protect those digital assets.

When selecting a DLP solution for your business, it's essential to consider the context of data in today's environment.

Isaac Madan, CEO, Nightfall AI. With the rise of cloud data and remote work, new DLP needs have emerged that are not met by legacy network and endpoint solutions.

The foundation of a great cloud DLP solution is its detection engine - look for machine learning-trained detectors to do the heavy lifting of identifying potentially sensitive data.

Ideally, the potential solution should include content discovery, digital inspection techniques and contextual analysis to identify and categorize sensitive data and IP. From there the solution must have the ability to monitor user actions while validating them against DLP rules and take appropriate action if and when a rule condition is triggered.

Also consider how you do business with the data: do you want coverage for data at rest, in transmit, and/or data being processed? Can you deploy an endpoint agent or are your endpoints unmanaged? What about privacy? A heavy-handed DLP regime sounds great - but does your legal, ethical, and cultural state fit with decrypting or inspecting to that level?
