Cato DLP

Cato DLP is a cloud-native data loss prevention solution integrated directly into the Cato SASE Cloud platform, engineered to discover, monitor, and prevent unauthorized transmission of sensitive data across enterprise networks, cloud services, and the public web. By inspecting all WAN and internet-bound traffic inline, it enforces consistent data security policies across branch offices, cloud workloads, and remote employees without requiring dedicated DLP hardware or complex endpoint agents.

The service functions across corporate locations connected via Cato Sockets and remote endpoints using Cato Clients, providing full coverage across web traffic, cloud file sharing, and internal application access. It integrates seamlessly with Cato Next-Generation Firewall, CASB, and enterprise directory services to correlate data movement with user identities, application context, and destination risk. Standard operational use cases include stopping the upload of confidential source code to public repositories, preventing customer PII and payment data leakage to personal cloud drives, monitoring intellectual property movement, and ensuring compliance with data privacy mandates.

Leveraging advanced content inspection algorithms, regular expression matching, and predefined compliance identifiers, Cato DLP identifies sensitive cleartext and structured data across high-speed network connections. Security teams gain centralized visibility into data movement events, customizable alerting, and automated blocking policies that stop unauthorized exfiltration in real time. The solution simplifies compliance reporting for standards such as GDPR, HIPAA, and PCI DSS while ensuring comprehensive data governance across distributed enterprise environments.
