  • Abstract
    The effectiveness of data loss prevention (DLP) solutions remains obscure, especially with respect to the types of attacks they claim to protect against. A systematic analysis of HTTP data leakage vectors and a test of three content-based DLP solutions give insight into these solutions´ vulnerabilities.
