Data leaks from screenshots, photos of screens, or printed documents can cause significant business losses. The Data Loss Prevention (DLP) feature of Secure Access Service Edge (SASE) lets you apply screen watermarks and application watermarks to mitigate this risk. Visible watermarks deter leaks, while invisible watermarks help trace the source after a leak occurs.
