What is the Strategic Data Loss Prevention Strategy course about?
Even mature organizations struggle to move DLP from technical enforcement to strategic enablement. Policies are too rigid, visibility is siloed, and security teams lack frameworks to align with legal, IT, and business unit priorities. This leads to shadow processes, degraded user trust, and increasing exposure despite tooling investment.
