Today’s episode of Protecting People dives into the inaugural Data Loss Landscape report. Our guests, Itir Clarke and Brian Gleeson shed light on the alarming statistics and insightful findings around data loss and people-based risk.

The conversation also goes into exploring human-centric approaches to DLP, including:
  • How understanding user behaviors can influence policy and shape effective controls to mitigate data loss risks
  • The impact of departing employees on data security and the need for proactive strategies to prevent unauthorized data exfiltration
  • The importance of continually evaluating and adapting DLP strategies to address evolving threats
