When: Thursday February 14th at 5:00 pm

Where: VA Hospital on 1481 West 10th St., Room C-1202

 The topic of discussion will be Data Leakage Prevention.

 “Data leakage prevention (DLP) refers to a class of detection and enforcement technologies aimed at securing internal information. The latter can be anything from compliance-related data (social security and credit card data) to intellectual property (IP). Enforcement capabilities extend from detection and alerting all the way to blocking, quarantining, or encrypting the outbound network traffic. Initial technology deployments focused on e-mail (an easily proxied protocol) but have recently begun to include HTTP, FTP, and various chat or IM services as well as encrypted transports such as SSL and SSH.”
