The generic name for these types of solutions is DLP or data loss prevention. DLP solutions are common in regulated industries with finance typically having the most extreme forms of DLP solutions implemented.
1) DLP solutions for email and cloud storage: Office 365 and GSuite both have a bundled DLP solution. 3rd party solutions are also fairly comprehensive.
2) DLP solutions for workstations. This can range from sharing being disabled via MDM to DLP monitoring software (sometimes bundled in anti-virus) to some type of Desktop as a service solution (See techjuice's answer for more info on the last choice).
3) DLP server solutions, these can monitor for and disable certain sharing protocols. Most of the solutions are commercial (opendlp being an exception) and relatively rare out in the wild.
4) Network-based DLP. This can be a MITM proxy which all traffic goes through, common in financial firms. This can also include more basic solutions like firewalls blocking certain types of traffic or websites
5) Security monitoring solutions. This can be a SIEM solution which aggregates logs and looks for suspicious activity. Similar solutions are user behavior analytics systems which correlate historic user history, user roles and system information to look for suspicious activity. This type of system is essentially what Google's BeyondCorp Proxy is doing in the background.
6)Audit logs. This is primarily for tracking down who leaked data, but can serve as a preventive measure
