GCP – Prevent data loss with Chrome Enterprise and Symantec by Broadcom

With businesses increasingly relying on cloud-based applications and distributed workforces, data loss prevention (DLP) is fundamental in any organization’s secure enterprise browsing journey. According to IBM’s latest annual Cost of Data Breach report, the global average cost of a data breach in 2023 has surged to USD 4.45 million, marking a 15% increase over the last three years. Beyond the financial impact, data breaches can also significantly damage a company’s reputation and customer confidence due to perceived negligence in safeguarding sensitive information.
