"Google's Making It Easier to Safeguard Sensitive Data Troves"

Google's Data Loss Prevention (DLP) tool has the capability to perform scans of large amounts of data in the cloud in order to identify and redact the data that is sensitive. The tool is used in many Google products, but it can also be used by administrators outside of Google's ecosystem as the tool offers an application programming interface. DLP has been upgraded to allow those with no technical expertise to easily use the tool. This tool has machine learning capabilities such as image recognition, machine vision, natural language processing, and context analysis to help in the discovery and redaction of sensitive data. This article continues to discuss the capabilities, goals, and applications of Google's DLP, as well as its upgrade.
