Insider Threat Spectrum
- Most insider threats are unintentional mistakes or negligence rather than malicious intent.
- However, intentional insider threats, ranging from data theft to nation-state espionage, pose significant risks.
Real-Time DLP
- Implement real-time data loss prevention (DLP) tools to monitor and block data leaks.
- Traditional DLP solutions offer post-incident visibility, but real-time prevention is crucial.
