What type of DLP system is focused on preventing data transfer from cloud services?

The focus of a Cloud-Based Data Loss Prevention (DLP) system is explicitly on preventing unauthorized data transfer from cloud services. This type of DLP solution is designed to monitor and protect sensitive information that is stored, used, or transmitted in cloud applications. Given the increasing reliance on cloud services for data storage and processing, a Cloud-Based DLP system implements controls to ensure that sensitive data is not improperly accessed or transmitted outside of the organization’s configured policies.

This system can effectively analyze user activities, apply data categorization, and enforce security policies specific to cloud environments, ensuring that data is adequately protected against breaches and unintentional leakage. It integrates with cloud services, providing visibility and control over data usage and transfers occurring in the cloud.

In contrast, other types of DLP systems may not specifically focus on cloud environments. For instance, Network-Based DLP solutions monitor and control data transfers across the network, but they might not specifically address cloud service interactions. Hybrid DLP combines elements of various types, but it does not specifically emphasize cloud service communications. Endpoint-Based DLP systems focus on protecting data stored on individual devices such as laptops or desktops, thus lacking the focused capability to manage cloud-related data transfers effectively. Therefore, the specificity of Cloud-Based D
