Abstract: Methods, systems, and techniques for preventing and deterring unauthorized capture of analog data are provided. Example embodiments provide a Analog Data Loss Prevention System (“ADLPS”), which enables enterprise/company administrators to monitor access to analog data and to define and enforce customizable policies based upon defined risk profiles. The ADLPS platform is designed to identify violations of the “analog loophole” in organizations' data protection policies and to detect an accidental disclosure of confidential information, enabling enterprises to take appropriate steps for preventing data loss. In one example embodiment, the ADLPS comprises one or more ADLPS agents executing on each monitored endpoint device, one or more ADLPS agent backends, one or more ADLPS administrator user interfaces and backends, one or more databases, and one or more file storage devices/mechanisms.
