Regulated and sensitive information can leave your environment quicker than you realize. Data loss prevention (DLP) systems can prevent this information from leaving your control in unauthorized manners. Whether that’s from an employee copying the information to take it so they can work from home or an adversary that has managed to infiltrate and embed in your environment – we’re talking about the insider threat. The ability to identify this information leaving your environment is crucial. This is being driven from a variety of regulatory and contractual requirements and you are on the hook to ensure the information you’ve been entrusted with is protected. It doesn’t matter if you’re talking about the information that has been provided by your customers, shared by your business partners or your own intellectual property – you must protect it. Being able to detect and respond plays a major role in supporting your claims of conforming with the relevant regulatory drivers, but also in the midst of responding to an incident where you have to know and get to ground truth on what data that you’re accountable for, left your organization.
