Protecting Intellectual Property – Preventing
and Monitoring Data Leakage (PDF, 4.36MB)
Most organizations effectively identify the risks associated with
external threats and focus on building the security architecture to
minimize these risks. However, it is not uncommon for some internal
threats to escape identification. In particular, data leakage –
intentional or not, presents significant risks but yet is commonly
overlooked. In this session we will assess the risks presented by data
leakage, identify the common forms of data leakage and discuss practical
methods to monitor and prevent it from occurring.
