Data Loss Prevention is a set of tools and practices geared towards protecting your data from loss and leak. Even though the name has only the loss part, in actuality, it’s as much about the leak protection as it is about the loss protection. Basically, DLP, as a notion, encompasses all the security practices around protecting your company data.

Every company, even if never vocalized it, has or should have at least some DLP practices in place. You obviously use identity and access management that include authenticating users; you also for sure use some endpoint protection for users’ computers. Maybe (and hopefully) you do beyond that. And this all can be called data loss prevention.
