Abstract

In one embodiment, a method includes activating a cross-platform DLP policy for enforcement against a plurality of users on each of a plurality of heterogeneous communications platforms. The method further includes monitoring communications of the plurality of users on each of the plurality of communications platforms for violations of the cross-platform DLP policy. The method also includes, responsive to a detected violation of the cross-platform DLP policy by at least one user on at least one communications platform, dynamically acquiring context information for the detected violation using information associated with the detected violation. In addition, the method includes publishing violation information to one or more designated users. The violation information includes at least a portion of the information associated with the detected violation and at least a portion of the context information.
