β Own analytic logic and detection fidelity
β Directly impact enterprise risk posture
β Establish measurable reduction in false positives
β Influence executive-level reporting and metrics
π If youβre ready to engineer DLP the right way β with precision, ownership, and impact β weβd love to connect.
