Essentials of DLP
RCCE students will learn data loss prevention strategy, architecture, and operations including content inspection, context-aware policies, endpoint DLP, network DLP, cloud DLP, and email DLP. RCCE students will learn to classify sensitive data, define DLP policies based on regulatory requirements and business risk, configure DLP rules for PCI, HIPAA, and PII protection, investigate DLP policy violations, tune DLP rules to minimize false positives while maintaining protection, manage DLP incident workflows, and integrate DLP controls across endpoints, networks, cloud storage, and SaaS applications. This essentials course covers the core knowledge needed to operate competently in this domain. Starting from foundational concepts, RCCE students will learn the fundamental concepts, terminology, risks, and defenses that form the foundation for all further study and professional practice. Students build a solid knowledge base that prepares them for more advanced courses and real-world security responsibilities.
