Summary
This post announces the General Availability of Cloudflare's Data Loss Prevention (DLP) product. It details how DLP works by inspecting HTTP traffic for sensitive data using regex matches and algorithmic validation (e.g., Luhn's algorithm for credit card numbers). It explains how to configure DLP profiles and apply them to Gateway HTTP policies to block or allow traffic based on detected sensitive data, such as PII, intellectual property, or financial information. The post also highlights DLP's integration with other Cloudflare Zero Trust services for comprehensive data protection.
