Abstract
Methods, apparatus, and processor-readable storage media for protecting data based on a context of data movement operations are provided herein. An example computer-implemented method includes identifying a context of a data movement operation based at least in part on a source and an indicated destination of data associated with the data movement operation; applying one or more data protection policies to the data movement operation based at least in part on the identified context, wherein a given data protection policy comprises one or more indications of one or more content scanners that are configured to detect data belonging to one or more regulated data classes; and in response to detecting data associated with the data movement operation that belongs to at least one of the regulated data classes, performing one or more automated remedial actions associated with the at least one regulated data class.
