Abstract
A data loss prevention (DLP) manager running on a security virtual machine manages DLP policies for a plurality of guest virtual machines. The DLP manager identifies a source associated with a file open or create event. The source is at least one of an application or a device being used by a guest virtual machine (GVM). The DLP manager enforces a first response rule associated with the GVM when the source is a non-approved source per a source control policy. The DLP manager enforces a second response rule when the file violates a DLP policy.
