How to Protect Sensitive CCTV Surveillance Footage from Data Leaks with Curtain e-locker DLP
CCTV cameras capture private moments, business operations, and critical infrastructure every day. But without advanced data loss prevention (DLP), this sensitive footage is at risk of hackers, insider threats, and costly data breaches. Discover how Curtain e-locker (Curtain DLP) provides industry-leading, file-level protection to keep surveillance footage secure and compliant—whether you operate in healthcare, retail, finance, or public sector environments.
Why Conventional CCTV Security Fails
CCTV footage contains confidential data: personal privacy, trade secrets, and—sometimes—national security information. Traditional security measures often leave gaps exploited by external attackers and insiders.
- External Hacking: Weak or default passwords allow hackers to access live feeds and steal video recordings from hospitals, stores, and government offices, with stolen footage often sold on the dark web.
- Insider Leaks: Authorized users can intentionally or accidentally share confidential footage via USB drives, personal email accounts, or cloud services, causing privacy, legal, and reputational damage.
The Impact of a Data Leak
- Financial & Legal: Breaches lead to costly regulatory fines and lawsuits.
- Reputation: Lost trust from clients, partners, and the public.
- Human & Social: Privacy violations and potential exposure of critical infrastructure data.
Sector-Specific CCTV Protection
Curtain DLP is relied upon across industries to ensure CCTV footage stays private and compliant.
- Healthcare: Protect patient privacy and comply with health data regulations.
- Retail & Banking: Prevent leakage of POS surveillance and anti-fraud evidence.

Why Curtain e-locker DLP Is Important for CCTV Security?
Curtain e-locker Data Loss Prevention (DLP) is vital for CCTV security as it protects sensitive surveillance assets—including video footage, access logs, and system configuration files—by treating them as confidential documents. It ensures data confidentiality and integrity by implementing robust controls that prevent unauthorized actions such as file copying, screen capturing of sensitive video feeds, printing, and other forms of data leakage, thereby ensuring compliance and mitigating risks from both internal and external threats.
