Overview What You Will Learn Curriculum Instructor

Course Overview

It is far too often we read in the headlines that an organization has suffered a data breach. These breaches can be extremely harmful to the business and expensive as well. The average cost to a company is $141 per record loss. As most breaches involved thousands of records, this can add up quickly. Protecting data is an essential part of a data loss prevention (DLP) program.

In this course, Data Loss Prevention, you will learn the important concepts of protecting your sensitive data. Concepts covered include regulatory requirements, stakeholder alignment, data discovery, policy creation, operations, and upcoming technology and business concerns.

You will also discover the methods used to secure sensitive data. These include data classification and regular expressions (regex), encryption, as well as an endpoint, email, and CASB tools.
