Abstract
A computer-implemented method for data loss prevention may include intercepting a packet sent by an application of an endpoint. The computer-implemented method may also include extracting file-identification information from the packet. The computer-implemented method may further include identifying a list of opened files and matching the file-identification information to a file in the list of opened files. The computer-implemented method may additionally include identifying a data-loss-prevention policy that applies to the file. The computer-implemented method may moreover include filtering the packet based on the data-loss-prevention policy. Various other methods, systems, and computer-readable media are also disclosed.
