What is the function of SonicWall's DLP (Data Loss Prevention) feature?

The function of SonicWall's DLP (Data Loss Prevention) feature is primarily to monitor and protect sensitive data from being transmitted outside the organization. DLP solutions are designed to identify, monitor, and protect confidential and sensitive information from unauthorized access and data breaches. This includes stopping sensitive data, such as personal identification numbers, financial information, and proprietary company data, from leaving the network through email, web uploads, or other transmission methods.

By focusing on detecting and preventing the unauthorized sharing of data, DLP systems play a crucial role in maintaining compliance with regulations and safeguarding an organization's integrity and reputation. The emphasis is not on increasing the speed of data transfer, providing backup solutions, or auditing employee activity, but rather on stringent measures to secure sensitive information from potential leaks.
