How do insider threats contribute to data leaks, and how can DLP solutions detect and prevent unauthorized access or exfiltration by employees or contractors?
Insider threats pose a significant risk to organizations by potentially exposing sensitive data through various means such as intentional or accidental leaks. Internal actors like employees or contractors with access to sensitive information can exploit their privileges to exfiltrate data or misuse it for personal gain. Data Loss Prevention (DLP) solutions can help mitigate these risks by monitoring data flows, conducting content inspection, enforcing policies, and detecting anomalies in real-time. These solutions can track data movement, identify suspicious activities, block unauthorized transfers, and provide alerts for further investigation, ultimately safeguarding against data leaks caused by insider threats.
