Platforms and interfaces

MyDLP Network is mostly written in Erlang, because of its performance on concurrent network operations.[9] Python is also used for a few exceptional cases, too.[10] This subsystem could run on any platform that supports Erlang and Python.[11]

MyDLP Web UI is written in PHP and Adobe Flex.[14] It uses MySQL in order to store user configurations.[15]

Features

As of October 2010, MyDLP includes widespread data loss prevention features [16] such as text extraction from binary formats, incident management queue, source code detection and data identification methods for bank account, credit card and several national identification numbers.[17] Besided, features like data classification through statistical analysis of trained sentences and native language processor integrated Naive Bayes classifier [18] are claimed to be inspiring.
