Data leak prevention is the new area that is being secured with a number of security products entering the market. Essentially it refers to enforcement of company policy around copying and transmission of data within and outside the organization. Data leaks are a definite scare to organizations. And it is also a fact that most of the leaks are accidental rather than intentional.
To that extent DLP software help in monitoring the transmission of sensitive data across an organization and enforce in real time the policies within the company. So for employees it is like a means to keep in check all the policy requirements. And when some errors do occur, the software will cause an error to pop up indicating the reason for not allowing the particular data transmission.
Websense's product in this area complements its Content Protection Suite but a standalone version is also available.
