Bigger companies would benefit from Google Cloud Data Loss Prevention due to their variety of data. Small companies can also utilize it effectively. For example, I have seen companies using Google BigQuery as storage for all kinds of data as their backend, using minimal but very useful services. Google Cloud Data Loss Prevention service is built in with BigQuery, which can be helpful. Some clients operate full-fledged, higher-budget projects and definitely use it. However, some startup companies wanting to conduct research with privacy or data protection considerations can utilize these specific services in a minimal way. For instance, any company has several data sources. They claim to have sensitive data but do not know where it is located or what data is sensitive. If someone asks them to tell where their sensitive data is and classify it, they would start working manually and would take four or five months to detect only that sensitive data. Google Cloud Data Loss Prevention helps considerably in this situation. They have a predefined template. Whatever category comes under sensitive data has been researched and included in the template, with almost 99% accuracy. A person needs to attach the template and scan their data. Once initiated, it will take time, such as 24 hours or 48 hours, depending on the size of data. Google Cloud Data Loss Prevention has a system, but it is not very mature. There should be a plug-and-play capability. For example, if a customer knows that Google Cloud Data Loss Prevention would be helpful but needs plug-and-play integration, this is a challenge. If sensitive data is available in on-premises cloud, on a machine, or in a database that is very large, such as 10 TB, Google should have easy plug-and-play options available. They could provide agents or something similar that helps continuously scan or provide reports, which is currently missing. Additionally, because the service is costly and every scan takes time, this is a consideration.
Data Loss Prevention (DLP) solutions are essential in safeguarding sensitive data from breaches and unauthorized access, ensuring compliance with industry regulations while maintaining trust.DLP solutions offer comprehensive data protection by monitoring, detecting, and blocking potential data breaches before they occur. By integrating with existing IT infrastructure, they provide visibility into data usage and movement across networks. These solutions are designed to be scalable and...
