DRM, DLP and Cybersecurity
Introduction The purpose of this post is to examine how Digital Rights Management (DRM) and Data Loss Presentation (DLP) software, when used together, can potentially improve the cybersecurity of an organisation. With the nature of work has changed due to COVID-19 we need to explore new ideas for companies to keep their people and assets safe. DRM tools are a set of access control technologies for restricting the use of proprietary hardware and copyrighted works.

DLP software detects potential data breaches/data ex-filtration transmissions and prevents them by monitoring, detecting and blocking sensitive data while in use (endpoint actions), in-motion (network traffic) and at rest (data storage). DRM is not often considered a cybersecurity issue but more often a
