DLP functions and more
1. Monitoring data coming in and out of the network
2. Sending alerts when it detects suspicious activity
3. Blocking sensitive data from leaving the network

I have a console shortcut called "dlp" for the video downloader "yt-dlp" and just generated a command to download a bunch of videos to watch offline later. Turns out, I accidentally duplicated the first "dlp", which caused the first one to see the second one as an argument. Because it found nothing else, it did a YouTube search for "dlp" and this was the first result, so it also downloaded this video.
I guess I now have more data than I would have otherwise, which is exactly the topic of the video. :D
