All these cyber threats are real and need to be addressed — but there’s a threat closer to home that too often gets ignored and that continually drives information security experts to distraction.

Supporting both SIEM and UBA approaches are technologies that restrict or prevent the “exfiltration” of data. As portable devices have become more capacious and network connections faster, the need to respond quickly and effectively has grown. Data Loss Prevention (DLP) tools monitor network traffic for patterns (in terms of content, volume, or timing) that should not be present and block outbound routes. That’s important, but so are policies and processes that prevent employees from using USB drives to carry out data in a pocket or purse.
