Data Loss Prevention (DLP) is an essential part of any organization's security strategy. DLP policies aim to detect and prevent the unauthorized transmission of sensitive data.
There are several steps that you can take to implement DLP policies effectively.
One essential step is implementing SSL inspection to scan encrypted traffic for sensitive data. This step involves navigating to the SSL Inspection configuration page and enabling SSL Inspection for encrypted traffic. You will also need to configure SSL Inspection rules to specify which traffic should be inspected. These rules allow you to match specific traffic based on various criteria, such as destination URL or user agent. Additionally, you can configure the type of inspection to perform, such as blocking or inspecting traffic.
Another critical step is to configure Data Loss Prevention policies to detect and prevent data exfiltration. To do this, you'll need to create a DLP policy that detects sensitive data that matches ISO 27001 and SOCII compliance standards. You can then specify actions to be taken when sensitive data is detected, such as reporting or blocking the transmission. To further enhance DLP policies, it's essential to enable event logging to capture and report on DLP events. This step involves navigating to the Event Logging configuration page and enabling Event Logging for DLP events. You can also specify which events to log.
Finally, it's crucial to implement User and Entity Behavior Analytics (UEBA) to identify anomalous user behavior that may indicate a DLP event. To implement UEBA, you'll need to navigate to the User and Entity Behavior Analytics configuration page and enable UEBA for your deployment. You can then configure UEBA rules to identify anomalous user behavior that may indicate a DLP event.
Similarly, you can configure DLP policies to detect and prevent data exfiltration. This involves navigating to the Data Loss Prevention configuration page and creating a DLP policy that detects sensitive data that matches ISO 27001 and SOCII compliance standards. You can then specify actions to be taken when sensitive data is detected, such as reporting or blocking the transmission.
One effective way to implement DLP policies is by classifying, labeling, and protecting sensitive data. This involves creating new labels for restricted data. You can then configure the label to apply to files and folders and enable notifications for when the label is applied to an unencrypted USB. Additionally, you can configure SIEM to detect and respond to DLP events and implement monitoring to streamline managing security across cloud resources.
Additionally, you can enable notifications for when the policy is triggered and configure access controls for sensitive data based on the requested items to protect and classify. You can also implement Google Vault to retain and search for data for legal or compliance purposes, configure Identity and Access Management (IAM) to control user access to sensitive data, and implement security measures to protect mobile devices that access Google Workspace.
