Many security teams have implemented Data Loss Prevention (DLP) tools. DLP helps identify and monitor sensitive data to prevent accidental or malicious leaks if the data is within its controlled boundary. But in today’s environment, boundaries are blurred, and it is easy to lose control. Security needs to follow the data – wherever it travels. And that’s where Digital Rights Management (DRM) enters the game. DRM brings data-centric protection to the table, giving organizations control over their files even after they’ve left the building. When combined, DLP and DRM offer a modern approach to data security: one that begins with detection and response (e.g., block or restrict file transfer) and then extends to persistent file-level protection and logging.
