Symantec Data Loss Prevention, a world leader in the DLP market, has recently released a version of their DLP product for tablets. Symantec Data Loss Prevention for Tablets will give organizations the ability to protect sensitive data on tablets it issues to employees as well as BYOD tablets that have access to the messenging services of the organization.
