Securing personal information in the digital age requires a similar multilayered approach. No matter where information is located — on the network or a personal computer — multiple layers of security must be in place to keep threats at bay. And effective cybersecurity systems merge three dimensions of content security: content management, rights management and continuous monitoring.

The third dimension of content security is continuous monitoring. Organizations should be watching for unusual activity; if an employee normally prints five documents per day and suddenly prints 500, system managers should be able to detect that anomaly. Similarly, if an employee downloads 100 documents without opening them, that action should be a red flag that somebody is trying to take a lot of information someplace it probably shouldn’t go. Advanced analytics today are capable of helping administrators pinpoint such suspicious activity.
