Residents’ tax return PDFs keep leaving the city network through clerks’ personal webmail accounts. Which control class best detects and blocks that exfiltration while still allowing approved business email?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
Personal webmail is the side door where sensitive PDFs sneak out. DLP sits on that doorway, recognizes tax-file fingerprints, and stops the upload—while still letting the official city mailbox do its job.
Full Explanation
Data Loss Prevention monitors and enforces policies on data in motion and at rest, including email and web uploads. Fingerprinting or classifying tax documents lets DLP block unsanctioned channels such as personal webmail without shutting down legitimate municipal messaging. Awareness posters and hardware theater do not provide technical enforcement.
