  1. Challenge

    Build a lightweight DLP system

    In this objective, you will create a lightweight Data Loss Prevention (DLP) solution using Python. You will configure detection rules for sensitive data types, scan files for potential policy violations, classify files based on risk level, and generate structured alerts for investigation and incident response.

  2. Challenge

    Investigate, triage, and remediate DLP alerts

    In this objective, you will review and analyze DLP alerts generated by the scanning system and perform remediation actions to protect sensitive data.

  3. Challenge

    Tune DLP rules to reduce false positives and negatives

    In this objective, you will evaluate the effectiveness of the DLP detection rules by reviewing both false positive and false negative results. You will refine the detection logic by implementing exclusions and adding new detection patterns, then rerun the scanner to validate the updated rules and improve the accuracy of sensitive data detection.
