DLP solutions can aid in deterring loss due to which of the following?

Data Loss Prevention (DLP) solutions are specifically designed to help organizations protect sensitive information from unauthorized access and disclosure. The core functionality of DLP technologies involves monitoring, detecting, and preventing the loss of data, whether that data is stored, being used, or transmitted.

The correct answer focuses on malicious disclosure, which refers to the intentional release of sensitive information by individuals who may have access to that data. DLP solutions mitigate this risk by employing various strategies such as policy enforcement, encryption, and user behavior analytics. They ensure that only authorized users have access to sensitive data and help identify when and where such data might be improperly shared or leaked, thus deterring potential malicious acts.

While power failure, performance issues, and bad policy can lead to data loss or security incidents, they do not directly relate to the core function of DLP solutions. Power failures affect the availability of data, performance issues relate to system efficiency, and bad policies can lead to security gaps, but these factors do not specifically align with the targeted protection against unauthorized data disclosure that DLP solutions are designed to address.
