After this lesson, you will be able to: Understand how and why data leaves organizations.
Data leakage is the unauthorized exit of sensitive data, sometimes through hacks, but often through mistakes: a misconfigured S3 bucket, a forwarded email, a USB stick left on a train. This lesson covers the categories and the human factor.
Most breaches reported in the news involve data leaving an organization, credentials, customer data, IP, source code. The financial and reputational cost is often higher than the cost of intrusion itself.
1. Email, sending sensitive data to wrong recipient.
2. Cloud storage, public buckets, share links.
3. USB/removable media, physical exfiltration.
4. Personal devices. BYOD blurring lines.
5. Third parties, vendors with poor security.
Take a guess.
