Data leak protection (DLP) is one of the few areas of information technology in which Russian developments have managed to firmly take a position among world leaders. Galina Ryabova, Director of the Dozor Product Center at Rostelecom-Solar, talks about the main changes taking place in this actively developing area of information protection.
Almost any information security system limits the rights of users and claims to interfere with their private world. Why do employees most often complain about the use of DLP functions in companies?
It is unlikely that the employer is interested in the albania whatsapp data communications of employees - he simply does not have time for this. What he should definitely have enough resources for is to control, with all possible care, the handling of sensitive corporate information. And not only to prevent leakage of confidential data, but also to prevent careless handling of confidential information by employees.
It is important to note that information leaks, as the practice of using DLP shows, often occur not due to malicious intent, but due to carelessness, ignorance, or employee errors. And one of the tasks of DLP is to prevent employee errors and warn against violations. Therefore, more and more organizations, along with blocking, use the DLP "action confirmation" function, when the system warns the employee about a possible violation and asks to confirm the intention to send information without interfering with the business process. After all, in the modern world, an employee is the main asset of a company, so it is necessary to show trust in people and teach them a responsible attitude to information.
