A DLP system is the best option for the company to mitigate the risk of losing its proprietary enhancements to competitors. DLP stands for data loss prevention, which is a set of tools and policies that aim to prevent unauthorized access, disclosure, or exfiltration of sensitive data. DLP can monitor, filter, encrypt, or block data transfers based on predefined rules and criteria, such as content, source, destination, etc. DLP can help protect the company's intellectual property and trade secrets from being compromised by malicious actors or accidental leaks.
