Abstract: An enterprise data leak causes a big loss of organization. As the organization progresses into the more technological environment, the amount of the digitally stored data increases dramatically, but keeping the track on data used in any organization is no longer as easy as before .Security practitioners have always had to deal with data leakage issues that arises from various ways like email and other internet channels. Data leakage is the unauthorized transmission of data or information within an organization or from an organization to the external destination. The data stored in any device can be leaked in two ways; if the system is hacked or if the internal resources intentionally or unintentionally make the data public. Hacking can be prevented by carefully configuring your Firewalls and other security devices but if the internal resources make data public then we must have some preventing solutions.

DLP is mainly designed to protect information assets in minimal interference in business processes.
