Difference between DRM and DLP

❑ DLP(Data Loss Prevention)
❍ Purpose : Prevent data leakage by controlling data distribution.
❍ How : Storage medium(USB, CD) control, file transfer control, output control, wireless communication control etc.

❑ DRM(Digital Rights Management)
❍ Purpose : Prevent illegal use by controlling use of digital content.
❍ How : Data encryption/decryption, file permissions control(Read/Wirte) etc.

※ DLP and DRM sometimes have overlapping functions. Watermark/Screen capture control can be seen as a function to prevent data leakage or also as a function to prevent illegal use.
