Data Leak Prevention

When it comes to data leaks in cloud environments like Google Workspace and Microsoft 365, without the proper controls, it’s not a question of possibility, it’s a matter of certainty. 82% of data breaches involve data stored in cloud environments — these breaches can lead to costly downtime and severe reputational damage that can linger for years.

In a constantly shifting security landscape, you need proactive data leak prevention measures to minimize unauthorized exposure and avoid the devastating impacts on customer trust and regulatory compliance.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Data Leak Prevention (DLP), and why is it crucial for organizations?

Data Leak Prevention (DLP) enables enterprises to detect and monitor unauthorized access or transfer of sensitive information, ranging from credit card numbers to social security numbers and other personally identifiable information (PII). Businesses must keep this SaaS data safe and secure to avoid the risks of insider threats and cyberattacks.  

Common vectors for DLP include:

  • SaaS data sharing by users: SaaS environments make data sharing easy. With a few clicks, end-users can share sensitive data internally or worse – externally. 
  • High-risk third-party applications: Applications found in cloud marketplaces, such as Google Marketplace or Microsoft Azure Marketplace, provide robust features, but often have OAuth permissions to sensitive SaaS data that make them high-risk.
  • Cloud ransomware: Ransomware attacks can result in downtime, data leaks, data loss, data breaches, and potential theft of intellectual property. This can cause huge losses for businesses – in reputation, customers, revenue, and penalties. 

According to Gartner, “Through 2025, 90% of the organizations that fail to control public cloud use will inappropriately share sensitive data. Cloud strategies usually lag behind cloud use. This leaves most organizations with many unsanctioned and unrecognized public cloud use, creating unnecessary risk exposure. CIOs must develop a comprehensive enterprise strategy before the cloud is implemented or risk the aftermath of an uncontrolled public cloud.”

What types of data can be protected using DLP solutions, and how are they categorized?

DLP solutions can protect the following types of SaaS data in apps like Google Workspace and Microsoft 365:

  • Identity information – name, address, phone number, email address, username, password
  • Activity information – order and payment history, browsing habits, usage details
  • Credit card information – card numbers, CVV codes, expiration dates, billing zip codes

Private, sensitive information is vulnerable and valuable to attackers. Attackers seek to compromise sensitive personal information found in internal databases, user lists, customer records, payment information, and many other data sources. These are often the first types of SaaS assets that attackers seek to compromise for the treasure trove of sensitive information. Information may be compromised due to weak encryption, no encryption, software flaws, or poorly monitored and controlled SaaS environments.

How do DLP solutions comply with various regulatory standards related to data privacy?

DLP solutions help discover and prevent violations of compliance regulations and cybersecurity frameworks, such as PCI-DSS, GDPR, CCPA, or HIPAA.
