Traditional DLP failed. Modern DLP doesn’t have to.

For years, data loss prevention (DLP) has been a necessary evil in the security stack—hard to manage, noisy, brittle, and often bypassed entirely. But today, protecting sensitive data has never been more critical—or more possible.

DLP For Dummies® cuts through the complexity to give you a modern, practical understanding of how DLP can actually work. This book is your roadmap to building a data-centric security strategy that goes beyond blocking and actually understands how data moves, how it’s used, and how to protect it—without slowing down your business.

In this free guide, you'll learn:

• Why traditional DLP failed to meet expectations
• How a data-first approach changes everything
• The core components of an effective DLP strategy

Modern DLP architecture & technology:

• How AI and automation reduce alert fatigue
• What to look for in a next-gen DLP solution

From theory to practice:

• Real-world insights from CISOs and practitioners
• 10 tips for implementing DLP that actually works

Stop fighting with DLP that wasn't built for today's data.
