Data Protection follows sensitive data wherever it moves and steps in when someone tries to take it. It works from the same Falcon agent already on the endpoint.

## What it is

Data Protection is a module of the CrowdStrike Falcon Platform that finds and classifies sensitive data and blocks theft as it happens. It covers endpoints, browsers, generative AI workflows, SaaS, and cloud. It includes data security posture management (DSPM) and runs from the Falcon agent.

## Key capabilities

- Discovers and classifies sensitive data across the environment.
- Stops data theft in real time.
- Covers endpoints, browsers, generative AI workflows, SaaS, and cloud.
- Includes data security posture management (DSPM).
- Works from the single Falcon agent.

## Who it's for

It suits teams that need to protect sensitive data across many places without adding more tools. It helps reduce the risk of data leaving the organization through endpoints, browsers, AI tools, and the cloud.
