Solution Brief | Data Loss Prevention for the Way Work Happens

Sensitive data no longer lives behind the firewall. It regularly moves through SaaS applications, web tools, and browser-based workflows, often accessed from unmanaged devices and remote locations. Traditional DLP solutions were built for centralized networks and managed endpoints. But that doesn't match the needs of today's cloud-first world. Check Point SASE delivers a single, cohesive approach to data loss prevention, protecting sensitive information wherever users work across SaaS, GenAI tools, websites, browsers, and device types without disrupting productivity.

The Modern Data Exposure Challenge

Work has changed, but data protection models haven't. Organizations must now contend with:

• The browser as the primary workspace for users
• Remote, hybrid, and third-party access from unmanaged devices
• Accidental data loss during normal collaboration, not just malicious attacks
• Sensitive data spread across sanctioned and unsanctioned SaaS apps

As a result, security teams struggle to maintain visibility and control without impacting productivity or forcing users into workarounds.

Data Loss Prevention for the Way Work Happens

Traditional DLP Falls Short

Legacy approaches to DLP assume that:

• Traffic flows through fixed network chokepoints
• Devices are fully managed
• Enforcement happens after the fact

However, today's security teams face a reality where:

• Most data interaction happens inside the browser
• Users work outside the corporate network
• Data loss often occurs during legitimate, everyday actions

Point solutions only address parts of the problem and create complexity without comprehensive protection.

A Better Approach: Protect Data Where It's Used

Preventing data loss today requires a shift from where enforcement lives to how data is accessed and used. Check Point SASE embeds DLP directly into user workflows, applying consistent, real-time controls at the moment data is viewed, shared, uploaded, or downloaded wherever work happens.

Protecting Sensitive Data in SaaS Applications

• Stops unapproved user actions inside the browser before the data becomes web traffic.
• Stops sensitive data uploads to unsanctioned or personal web apps.
• Controls copy/paste and file transfers in browser-based workflows.
• Enforces policies even when users are off the corporate network.

Preventing Data Loss During Web and Browser Activity

• Defends against sensitive data loss during sessions with GenAI tools.
• Applies contextual analysis to conversational prompts.
• Prevents entering PII, source code, and other sensitive information.
• Enables secure AI adoption without disrupting productivity.

Real-Time DLP for AI Interactions

• Prevents data loss before it happens through inline, real-time enforcement.
• Detects sensitive content and risky intent instantly.
• Enforces controls before data leaves the organization.
• Adapts policies dynamically based on risk context.

Key DLP Use Cases Enabled by Check Point SASE

Check Point's DLP engine detects sensitive data using 800+ predefined data types such as PII, financial data, credentials, and intellectual property enhanced by AI/ML-driven contextual analysis to protect data across four control points: SaaS, browser, GenAI, and inline traffic.

One Policy, Consistent Protection Everywhere

Check Point SASE enables organizations to define data protection policies and enforce them consistently across all user activity - SaaS, web, browser, and devices. This reduces complexity, closes gaps, and ensures predictable enforcement wherever work takes place.

Protecting Data Without Slowing Users Down

The goal of modern DLP is simple: protect data without disrupting work. Through contextual intelligence and real-time enforcement, Check Point SASE minimizes user friction while maximizing security effectiveness.
