What extends the activity monitoring and protection capabilities of DLP to sensitive items on Windows devices?

The ability to extend activity monitoring and protection capabilities of Data Loss Prevention (DLP) policies to sensitive items on Windows devices is achieved through Endpoint Data Loss Prevention (Endpoint DLP). This solution allows organizations to monitor and control the movement of sensitive data across various endpoints, ensuring that data does not leave the organization in an unauthorized manner.

Endpoint DLP works by integrating seamlessly with existing data loss prevention strategies, providing deeper insights and protective measures specifically tailored for Windows devices. This includes capabilities such as blocking the copying of sensitive files to external drives, monitoring how users are interacting with sensitive data, and applying restrictions based on organizational governance policies.

The other options, while relevant to data protection, do not specifically target the extension of DLP capabilities to Windows devices. Data classification relates to categorizing data based on its sensitivity, email filtering focuses on securing email communication, and content management services primarily deal with the lifecycle management of documents rather than direct monitoring or controlling across endpoint devices.
