How do I choose between DLP and CASB?

I'm trying to decide between DLP and CASB for my organization. Can you help me understand the differences?

Sure! DLP, or Data Loss Prevention, focuses on protecting sensitive data from being lost or misused. CASB, or Cloud Access Security Broker, provides security for cloud services by monitoring and controlling access to cloud applications.

What are the key factors I should consider when making my choice?

You should consider factors like your organization's data security needs, the types of data you handle, compliance requirements, and whether you primarily use on-premises or cloud services.

Can you give me some examples of when to use DLP over CASB?

Certainly! Use DLP when you need to protect sensitive data on endpoints or in transit, while CASB is ideal for securing cloud applications and managing user access.

What about costs? Is one generally more expensive than the other?

Costs can vary widely based on the vendor and features, but generally, DLP solutions can be more expensive due to their complexity and the need for extensive policy management.
