Episode 54 — Packet Brokers and DLP Tools in Cloud Monitoring
This episode explains how packet brokers and data loss prevention (DLP) tools enhance visibility and control in cloud environments. Packet brokers aggregate and filter traffic from multiple sources, optimizing monitoring tool performance. DLP tools identify, monitor, and protect sensitive information from unauthorized transfer, whether intentional or accidental. We discuss common deployment patterns for both, including integration with existing security and monitoring stacks.
We also explore how these tools help meet compliance requirements and reduce the risk of data exfiltration. In the Cloud+ exam, you may be presented with scenarios requiring you to select the appropriate monitoring or prevention tool based on the type of data and threat model.
