Data Leakage Landscape: Where Data Leaks and How Next Generation Tools Apply
By : Utimaco Safeware Published Date: Apr 02, 2008
Like the steady drip from a leaking faucet, everyday data leaks are making headlines more often than the nefarious attack scenarios around which organizations plan most, if not all, of their data leakage prevention methods. In this paper, we map these leakage points with regulations and best practices. Protection mechanisms can be simplified by breaking them into five major categories: classic malware protections to prevent system infections, enforceable access controls, encryption, filtering for data sensitive data types being sent out of the organization, and education.
