Title of Event: A History of Data Loss Prevention
Event Summary:
Join us at Charley’s as G Mark breaks down the complexity and difficulty of Data Loss Prevention, tracing its evolution from basic rule-based systems to today’s AI-driven approaches.
Attendees will gain practical strategies for success, including data discovery, automated labeling, behavior analytics, and the use of modern tools like cloud access security brokers. The session will also show how machine learning can simplify once-manual processes, helping organizations reduce risk and turn data into a well-managed asset.
