Data loss is considered by security experts to be one of the most serious threats that businesses currently face.
Maintaining the confidentiality of personal information and data is an essential factor in operating a successful business. People must be able to trust that their service provider takes the appropriate measures to implement security controls that will ultimately protect their privacy.
However, some of the largest and most reputable organizations have fallen victim to data loss security breaches resulting in significant legal, financial, and reputation loss, including [1]:
The Bank of America: Losing the personal employee information of over one million employees
The United States Government: Losing data related to the military
Heartland Payment Systems: Transferring credit card information and other personal records of over 130 million customers
In 2013, it was estimated that data breaches had resulted in the exploitation of over 800 million personal records [2]. This number is also expected to rise over the next several years given the advanced tools that cybercriminals use to steal information and data.
Interestingly, it is not just cybercriminals who represent a threat as:
64% of data loss is caused by well-meaning insiders.
50% of employees leave with data.
$3.5 million average cost of a security breach.
Considering these extensive data breaches, it is practical for organizations to understand where their critical data is located and understanding current security controls that can stop data loss.
Data Loss Prevention (DLP) solutions locate critical and personal data for organizations and help prevent data loss. By having a deeper understanding of efficient DLP security controls, you will help protect the reputation of your organization.

Everyone knows that storing and accessing data and applications in the cloud and on mobile devices provides makes work much easier and productive by allowing employees to work everywhere they need to.
It allows for great business agility – applications are always up to date, new functionality and processes can be deployed and activated quickly and organizations can adjust things on the fly if they need to.
It also brings the convenience factor – all employees to work in the way that they need to, collaboration and sharing is made vastly easier with cloud applications and storage.
But it brings with it all the challenges of securing devices and applications that your don’t own, and whilst saying NO might be the right thing for security, end users will find a way around it. Right now, close to 30% of employees use their personal devices for work. And that number is on the rise, potentially turning BYOD into Bring Your Own Disaster.

Overview of Data Loss Prevention (DLP) TechnologyLiwei Ren任力偉
DLP is a technology that detects potential data breach incidents in timely manner and prevents them by monitoring data in-use (endpoints), in-motion (network traffic), and at-rest (data storage). It has been driven by regulatory compliances and intellectual property protection. This talk will introduce DLP models that describe the capabilities and scope that a DLP system should cover. A few system categories will be discussed accordingly with high-level system architecture. DLP is an interesting technology in that it provides advanced content inspection techniques. As such, a few content inspection techniques will be proposed and investigated in rigorous terms.
Cyberspace is the new battlefield:
We’re seeing attacks on civilians and organizations from nation states. Attacks are no longer just against governments or enterprise systems directly. We’re seeing attacks against private property—the mobile devices we carry around everyday, the laptop on our desks—and public infrastructure. What started a decade-and-a-half ago as a sense that there were some teenagers in the basement hacking their way has moved far beyond that. It has morphed into sophisticated international organized crime and, worse, sophisticated nation state attacks.
Personnel and resources are limited:
According to an annual survey of 620 IT professional across North America and Western Europe from ESG, 51% respondents claim their organization had a problem of shortage of cybersecurity skills—up from 23% in 2014.1 The security landscape is getting more complicated and the stakes are rising, but many enterprises don’t have the resources they need to meet their security needs.
Virtually anything can be corrupted:
The number of connected devices in 2018 is predict to top 11 billion – not including computers and phones. As we connect virtually everything, anything can be disrupted. Everything from the cloud to the edge needs to be considered and protected.2

Data Loss Prevention (DLP) - Fundamental Concept - ErykEryk Budi Pratama
Presented at APTIKNAS (Indonesia ICT Business Association) DKI Jakarta regular webinar.
Title:Data Loss Prevention: Fundamental Concept in Enabling DLP System
2 July 2020
ISACA New York Metro, Developing, Deploying and Managing a Risk-Adjusted Data...Ulf Mattsson
Not too long ago, many security experts believed that the best way to defend data was to apply the strongest possible technological protections to all of the data, all of the time. While that plan may work perfectly in theory, in the real world of business this model creates unacceptable costs, performance and availability problems.
What works from both IT and management standpoints? Risk-adjusted data security. Protecting data according to risk enables organizations to determine their most significant security exposures, target their budgets towards addressing the most critical issues, strengthen their security and compliance profile, and achieve the right balance between business needs and security demands.
Other issues that risk-adjusted security addresses are the unnecessary expenses, availability problems and system performance lags that result when data is over-protected. And cloud-based technologies, mobile devices and the distributed enterprise require a risk-mitigation approach to security, focused on securing mission critical data, rather than the now-unachievable ‘protect all the data at all costs’ model of years past.
Here’s how to develop and deploy a risk-adjusted data protection plan

Webinar: Endpoint Backup is not Enough - You Need an End-user Data StrategyStorage Switzerland
More data outside of the data center is staying on endpoints and in the cloud than ever before. That means the risks to that data are also at an all time high. Plus regulations encompassing end-user data are also increasing, challenging IT to manage data when they have less control than ever. IT needs more than an endpoint protection plan, it needs an end-user data strategy.
In this webinar, learn how to evolve from an endpoint data protection plan to a comprehensive end-user data strategy.
The objective of this workshop is to show existing Oracle Database (Enterprise
Edition, Exadata, Autonomous Database, EXACS, DBCS) customers how to

Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.
Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.

SECURITY DRIVEN BY THE HUMAN POINT
Data security is a never-ending challenge. On one hand, IT organizations are required to keep up with regulations and
protect intellectual property from targeted attacks and accidental exposure. On the other, they must adapt to macro IT
movements, such as the adoption of cloud applications, hybrid cloud environments and BYOD trends, all of which increase
the ways data can leave your organization.
This expanding attack surface poses the most significant challenge to protecting critical data. Data security teams take
the seemingly logical approach to chase data: find it, catalogue it and control it. Yet this traditional approach to data loss
prevention is no longer effective because it ignores the biggest variable in data security — your people.
Instead of focusing solely on data, security should begin and end with people. The key is to gain visibility into user
interactions with data and applications. Once this is achieved, you can apply a level of control based on the specific user’s
risk and the sensitivity or value of the data.
An organization’s data protection program must consider the human point — the intersection of users, data and networks. In
addition, the enterprise must remain vigilant of data as it moves across the enterprise and highlight the people who create,
touch and move data.
Forcepoint DLP
Data protection must:
Secure regulated data with a single point of control
for all the applications your people use to create,
store and move data.
Protect intellectual property with advanced DLP
that analyzes how people use data, coaches your

ACCELERATE COMPLIANCE
The modern IT environment presents a daunting
challenge for enterprises aiming to comply with dozens
of global data security regulations, especially as they
move toward cloud applications and mobile workforces.
Many security solutions offer some form of integrated
DLP, such as the type found within cloud applications. Yet
security teams face unwanted complexity and added costs
when deploying and managing separate and inconsistent
policies across endpoints, cloud applications and
networks.
Forcepoint DLP accelerates your compliance efforts by
combining pre-packaged coverage of global regulations
with central control across your IT environment.
Forcepoint DLP efficiently secures sensitive customer
information and regulated data so you can confidently
prove ongoing compliance.
Regulatory coverage to quickly meet and maintain
compliance with more than 370 policies applicable to
the regulatory demands of 83 countries.
Locate and remediate regulated data with network,
cloud and endpoint discovery.
Central control and consistent policies across
the IT environment.
EMPOWER PEOPLE TO PROTECT DATA
DLP with only preventive controls frustrates users who
will circumvent them with the sole intention of completing
a task. Going around security results in unnecessary risk
and inadvertent data exposure.
Forcepoint DLP recognizes your people as the front lines
of today’s cyber threats.
Discover and control data everywhere it lives,
whether in the cloud or on the network, via email
and at the endpoint.
Coach employees to make smart decisions, using
messages that guide user actions, educate employees
on policy and validate user intent when interacting
with critical data.
Securely collaborate with trusted partners using
policy-based auto-encryption that protects data as it
moves outside your organization.
Apply data classification and tagging by integrating
with leading third-party data classification solutions
(e.g., Microsoft Azure Information Protection, Bolden
James, Titus).
ADVANCED DETECTION AND CONTROLS THAT
FOLLOW THE DATA
Malicious and accidental data breaches are complex
incidents, not single events. Forcepoint DLP is a proven
solution that analyst firms including Gartner, Forrester
and others recognize as a leader within the industry.
Forcepoint’s DLP offerings are available in 2 versions:
DLP for Compliance and DLP for IP Protection.
Forcepoint DLP for Compliance provides critical capability
addressing compliance with features such as:
Optical Character Recognition (OCR) identifies
data imbedded in images while at rest or in motion
(available with Forcepoint DLP – Network).
Robust identification for Personally Identifiable
Information (PII) offers data validation checks,
real name detection, proximity analysis and
context identifiers.
Custom encryption identification exposes data hidden
from discovery and applicable controls.
Cumulative analysis for drip DLP detection
(i.e., data that leaks out slowly over time).
Integration with Microsoft Azure Information
Protection analyzes encrypted files and applies
appropriate DLP controls to the data.
Forcepoint DLP for IP Protection applies the most
advanced detection and control of potential data loss with
features such as:
Machine learning allows users to train the system
to identify relevant, never-before-seen data. Users
provide the engine with positive and negative
examples to flag similar business documents,
source code and more.
Fingerprinting of structured and unstructured data
allows data owners to define data types and identify
full and partial matches across business documents,
design plans and databases, and then apply the right
control or policy that matches the data.
Analytics identify changes in user behavior as
it relates to data interaction such as increased use
of personal email.

VISIBILITY EVERYWHERE YOUR PEOPLE
WORK, CONTROL EVERYWHERE YOUR
DATA RESIDES
Forcepoint DLP includes advanced analytics and
regulatory policy templates from a single point of
control with every deployment. Enterprises choose the
deployment options for their IT environment.
RESPOND AND REMEDIATE RISK
Traditional approaches to DLP overload users with
false positives while missing data at risk. Forcepoint
DLP applies advanced analytics to correlate seemingly
unrelated DLP events into prioritized incidents. Incident
Risk Ranking (IRR) provided with Forcepoint DLP fuses
disparate DLP indicators into a framework of Bayesian
belief networks to assess the likelihood of data risk
scenarios, such as data theft and broken business
processes.
Focus response teams on greatest risk with
prioritized incidents that highlight the people
responsible for risk, the critical data at risk and
common patterns of behavior across users.
Investigate and respond with workflows that link
disparate events, show context of data at risk and
provide analysts with the information they need
to take action.
Safeguard user privacy with anonymization
options and access controls.
Add the context of data into broader user analytics
through deep integrations with Forcepoint Insider
Threat and Forcepoint UEBA.
