  • CFile integrity monitor
  • DDLP

Explanation

A CISO seeking a solution to block and track sensitive data based on content and profiles is looking for a Data Loss Prevention (DLP) system.

Common mistakes.

  • A. Asset tagging is used for inventory and physical tracking of assets, not for protecting sensitive data based on its content or preventing its transfer.
  • B. A Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) system aggregates and analyzes security logs for threat detection, but it does not inherently block data transfers or classify data by content for prevention.
  • C. A File Integrity Monitor (FIM) detects unauthorized changes to files but does not prevent data exfiltration based on data content or profile, nor does it track data assets as described.
