Data Loss Prevention (DLP)
Protect sensitive data. Everywhere it goes.
Cato DLP empowers organizations to consistently protect sensitive data across users, locations, and clouds.
Todayโs Challenges
Sensitive data slips away.
Sensitive data is everywhere
Sensitive data moves across users, locations, SaaS, and private apps faster than legacy DLP can follow.
Data sprawl
Compliance
GenAI leakage
Backhaul
Our approach
Classify the data.
Control every channel.
Sensitive data leaks through dozens of channels that legacy tools watch in isolation. Cato DLP classifies data once and enforces consistent controls across web, SaaS, and email from a single policy โ wherever that data tries to move.
Classify sensitive data
Use 350+ pre-defined data types, custom types, Exact Data Match, ML models, and OCR to find what matters.
Inspect all traffic
Inspect inline and out-of-band across private apps, SaaS, and GenAI โ with no backhaul.
Enforce and monitor
Apply consistent policy and track every violation from a single dashboard in the CMA.

FAQS
Answers to common questions
What does Cato DLP protect, and who is it designed for?3 questions
What is Cato DLP and what does it protect against?
Cato DLP is a data loss prevention solution built into the Cato SASE Cloud platform. It protects sensitive data across users, locations, and clouds by classifying data, inspecting all traffic inline and out-of-band, and enforcing consistent policies across private apps, SaaS, and GenAI tools. Key risks it addresses include data sprawl, compliance gaps, GenAI data exposure, and the performance costs of traffic backhauling.
Does the solution cover both SaaS applications and private apps?
Yes. Cato DLP inspects every flow across private apps, SaaS, and GenAI, using both inline and out-of-band methods. This ensures consistent data protection regardless of where traffic originates or which application type is involved.
Who is Cato DLP designed for?
Cato DLP is designed for organizations that need to protect sensitive data across distributed users, multiple locations, and cloud environments. It is suited for security and IT teams looking to consolidate data protection into a single platform that covers SaaS, GenAI, and private applications without adding infrastructure complexity.
How does Cato DLP classify sensitive data and support compliance?2 questions
What data types and classification methods does the platform support?
Cato DLP includes a catalog of 350+ pre-defined data types covering common sensitive data, PII, and compliance use cases, all available on day one. Beyond the pre-built catalog, it supports custom data types via Microsoft Information Protection labels, keywords, and regular expressions, as well as Exact Data Match and OCR for precise detection.
How does the platform support regulatory compliance?
The 350+ pre-defined data types are built to cover common compliance requirements, including use cases for PII and other regulated data categories. Organizations can also create custom types to match specific regulatory frameworks, and all violations are tracked from a single compliance dashboard within the Cato Management Application.
How does Cato DLP operate within a converged SASE platform?2 questions
How does a converged SASE approach to DLP compare to standalone DLP tools?
Traditional DLP tools often require traffic to be backhauled to a central inspection point, which introduces latency and complexity. Because Cato DLP is part of the converged Cato SASE Cloud platform, it inspects traffic across the global network without backhauling, maintaining performance while applying consistent policy across private apps, SaaS, and GenAI from a single management console.
How is DLP policy managed and monitored across the organization?
Policy enforcement and monitoring are centralized in the Cato Management Application. Administrators can apply consistent DLP policy across all traffic and track every violation from a single dashboard, giving security teams unified visibility without managing multiple point products.
