Explanation
Data Loss Prevention (DLP) solutions are specifically designed to detect, monitor, and block the unauthorized transfer or leakage of sensitive data - making them the best tool for preventing data exfiltration. An Application Firewall filters web traffic but does not inspect data content for sensitive information. Full Disk Encryption (FDE) protects data if a device is physically stolen but does not prevent authorized users from exfiltrating data over the network. A NIDS detects suspicious network activity but is passive and does not actively block data transfers.
