Data Loss Prevention (DLP) is a security toolset that detects and blocks unauthorized exposure of sensitive data across networks, endpoints, and cloud systems.
LastPass added shadow AI discovery and sensitive-data warnings to Business Max, run from the browser extension its customers already use. Teams on that tier get a warning and an audit log for browser AI use, and the release describes hard blocks only for web categories.

Fed's inspector general found that unclear roles among Fed divisions left a former staffer's removal of classified FOMC files unresolved for over a year. The Fed says its fix for escalating such alerts arrives by the first quarter of 2027, and part of the removed material has not been retrieved.

Microsoft's Purview and Entra Global Secure Access can now block sensitive uploads to unsanctioned AI tools at the network layer, for users and agents. Licensing is not in the announcement, so tenants cannot yet tell whether it is a setting or a purchase.

The Series B takes MIND to $112 million raised against a $10 million run rate, and Crosspoint supplied about half of it. The $300 million price assumes Eran Barak hits $100 million of revenue within two years.

Mind Security's Series B funds a product with two controls: block the risky action, or prompt the person who triggered it with the policy they were about to break. Agent traffic under a service account leaves only the block.

Kiteworks' eighth acquisition in under five years puts policy decisions inline on email, file shares and agent traffic. The price is undisclosed, and CTech estimates tens of millions for a startup 15 months out of stealth.

Over 30 days Confluent's detection stack made about 4,700 alerts; the agent pipeline read every one, escalated roughly 5 percent, and reported more than 250 true positives with no human baseline published beside it.

A February 2026 Microsoft admin advisory and the EchoLeak flaw before it both began in AI features vendors switched on inside already-approved apps, putting the missing review squarely on the operator's side of the line.
Reality
Platform vendors now screen data-protection startups by the thousand through accelerator judging, and the winners reach customers as marketplace apps rather than acquisitions, which hands DLP owners a fresh comparison point at renewal.

A dev.to writeup makes a point worth stealing: the secret leaves your machine in a prompt, not a commit. The proposed fix is a local proxy that masks values before egress.
