Abstract
A method and apparatus for monitoring network-based printing for data loss prevention (DLP). A DLP system may monitor outbound data transfers performed by a computing system, and detect a network print request in a current one of the outbound data transfers being sent to a network-based printer over a network, the network print request identifying data to be printed by the network-based printer. The DLP system determines whether the identified data of the current outbound data transfer violates a DLP policy and prevents the current outbound data transfer when the current outbound data transfer violates the DLP policy.
