Abstract

A malware detection agent operating on a computing device detects one or more indicators of a potential data loss threat. Sensitive data is identified based on at least one of a logical location or a physical location of the sensitive data. One or more data loss prevention policies are enabled to protect the sensitive data until the potential data loss threat is resolved.
