Design and Development of Cloud based QR Coded Watermarking DLP system

Despite hectic security efforts in place today by large organizations, data breaches continue to occur, and identity theft is on the rise. Data leak prevention (DLP) is a suite of technologies aimed at restricting the loss of sensitive information that occurs in enterprises across the globe. By focusing on the location, classification, and monitoring of information at rest, in use and in motion, this solution can go far in helping an enterprise get a handle on what information it has, and in stopping the numerous leaks of information that occur each day. In this paper, first we suggest a policy for an enterprise to work on to prevent the data leakage and detection, depending upon access control and data location using QR code-based watermarking. QR code-based watermarking have been implemented using image and pdf files for detecting violations in accessed, downloaded, and uploaded files to central portal.
