Today, Netskope partnered with the Cloud Security Alliance to release the Data Loss Prevention (DLP) and Data Security Survey Report, a survey focused on data protection needs in cloud and hybrid work environments. Unsurprisingly, the report found that the biggest pain point organizations identify with trying to modernize their data protection strategy is that current DLP deployments show limitations when it comes to cloud and remote work use cases, and they are a nightmare to manage. Especially when you consider that cloud is already the predominant means for transferring and sharing data, based on the report. It’s everything anyone who knows the current state of DLP would recognize: false positives, limited support, un-integrated solutions, products that are retrofitted (not built) for the cloud and, therefore, poorly applied. Many organizations are often forced to adopt multiple DLP solutions in order to fill the gaps. So what’s to be done about this?
In my recent blog on the major shortcomings of traditional data loss prevention (DLP), I called out that trying to provide hybrid work coverage using
