Abstract
The disclosed computer-implemented method for optimizing data loss prevention (DLP) systems may include (1) monitoring data distributed via at least one data-distribution channel, (2) detecting, by analyzing the distributed data, a plurality of partial violations of a set of DLP policies, (3) determining, based on a correlation between the plurality of partial violations, that the plurality of partial violations suggest a previously undetected DLP threat, and (4) formulating an adjustment to apply to the set of DLP policies to enable the set of DLP policies to detect the DLP threat in the future. Various other methods, systems, and computer-readable media are also disclosed.
