This intermediate module dives into the implementation and tuning of Data Loss Prevention (DLP) controls in cloud environments. You will learn how to configure cloud-native DLP solutions (like Microsoft Purview, AWS Macie, and GCP Cloud DLP) to inspect data in motion and at rest, detect sensitive patterns (PII, PHI, PCI), and enforce automated remediation actions such as blocking, encrypting, or quarantining unauthorized transfers. The curriculum also covers integrating DLP with cloud storage, email, and collaboration tools, tuning policies to minimize false positives, and defending against advanced evasion techniques used by attackers to exfiltrate data.

## Lessons

1. What Is Cloud DLP and Why Does It Matter (30 min)
2. Native DLP Tooling (AWS Macie, Microsoft Purview) (30 min)
3. Guided Lab: Configuring a DLP Policy to Detect Sensitive Data Exposure (30 min)
