Enforcing controls like clipboard restrictions, file download governance, screenshot prevention, or USB blocking requires a presence at the endpoint level that API-based cloud DLP tools don\u2019t provide. Unified DLP research from Zscaler notes that legacy tools create fragmented security with inconsistent policy management, and that without visibility into encrypted traffic and unsanctioned app usage, organizations are operating with significant gaps in their coverage. Shadow IT \u2013 the use of non-approved cloud applications and services \u2013 is a persistent challenge that cloud DLP doesn\u2019t fully solve on its own. As research into BYOD security risks has made clear, every personal device that accesses company data represents an access point that IT doesn\u2019t own, manage, or necessarily have visibility into. The modern workforce has made cloud DLP more urgent and more difficult at the same time. IBM\u2019s breach research shows that breaches involving data distributed across multiple cloud environments carry the highest average cost \u2013 $5.05 million per incident.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
