Sensitive data slips away.



Sensitive data is everywhere
Sensitive data moves across users, locations, SaaS, and private apps faster than legacy DLP can follow.
Constant compliance pressure
GDPR, PCI DSS, and HIPAA demand consistent control — and provable evidence — across every channel.
GenAI data exposure
Employees paste sensitive data into tools like ChatGPT, risking the inadvertent compromise of confidential information.
Backhaul and blind spots
Appliance-based DLP backhauls traffic for inspection — hurting performance and leaving traffic uninspected.
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 — 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 — with no backhaul.
Enforce and monitor
Apply consistent policy and track every violation from a single dashboard in the CMA.
