The tool being described is Data Loss Prevention (DLP). DLP systems are designed to detect potential data breaches/data exfiltration transmissions and prevent sensitive data from being sent out of the organization by monitoring, detecting, and blocking sensitive data while in-use, in-motion, and at-rest. In this context, DLP is the most fitting choice as it is specifically used to identify and protect sensitive files from being transferred outside of the organization.
