TALKING

Data exfiltration is used to describe the unauthorised transfer of data from a computer or other device while data harvesting is the process of extracting and analysing trends and patterns from raw data .

Data Loss Prevention ( DLP ) is a set of tools and processes used to ensure that sensitive data is not lost , misused , or accessed by unauthorised users . Typical DLP software classifies regulated , confidential and business critical data and identifies policy violations as defined by organisations driven by regulatory compliance such as HIPAA , PCI-DSS , or GDPR .

Data masking , on the other hand , is a data security technique in which a dataset is copied but with sensitive data obfuscated or made blank .

Lastly , data monitoring is a business practice in which critical business data is routinely checked against quality control rules to make sure it is always of high quality and meets previously established standards for formatting and consistency .
