Securing the Data Journey

Data exfiltration doesn't always look like a heist. Often, it's an employee uploading sensitive files to a personal drive or pasting code into a public AI tool. Here is how you can stop it.

1. Implement Least Privilege

Ensure employees only have access to the data they absolutely need for their role. Review access rights regularly.

2. Monitor User Behavior

Use behavioral analytics to establish a baseline of normal activity. Spikes in file downloads or access at unusual hours should trigger alerts.

3. Secure Endpoints

With remote work, endpoints are the new perimeter. Ensure all devices are monitored and have up-to-date security policies.
