Protection against external leakage

[sadiksojib35]

The DLP system is suitable for large companies, since purchasing software, implementation and support can cost several million rubles. But these are justified expenses, because in such organizations the damage from leaks is estimated at tens of millions.


Hackers have become less likely to break into corporate networks oman telegram database due to high levels of protection. It is difficult to plant a virus in cloud storage, so scammers have focused on the weakest link in information security — employees.

For example, employees are sent phishing emails with links to websites. They click on them, and at that very moment a malicious program gets into the system, which reads passwords and other information. But more often, they use fake websites where the employee enters the data himself. This is how fraudsters gain access to databases and payment documents.

Let's highlight three levels of protection against external leaks:

1. Basic - this is the minimum that needs to be done in the first months after opening a business:

Improve your employees' digital literacy. Talk about new fraudulent schemes and protection methods, or better yet, organize training sessions with information security specialists.
Don't let employees use their personal computers for work purposes - give everyone a corporate PC. You can restrict access to sites that are not related to work. Then the likelihood of phishing will be minimal.
Use a commercial antivirus. Free versions do not protect against all modern threats.
Update your work programs. Attackers can gain access to data through vulnerabilities in older versions of software.
Work with corporate mail - G Suite, Zoho Mail, Yandex.Mail for business, etc. Free mail clients are an easy target for hackers.
Set up complex passwords and two-factor authentication for work services.
Using free email services increases the risk of leaking your client base to competitors or taking control of your corporate email, which is often accessed by just a few employees.

2. Advanced — installation of an access control and management system (ACMS). In a small organization, video surveillance and access by passes are sufficient. ACS will protect against physical penetration, which may result in the theft of important documents.

3. Maximum — using expensive software; relevant for large companies. For example, some organizations use containerization of electronic documents. Files are encrypted with a key, so they cannot be opened on other devices. Network protection and encryption of storage devices on laptops and tablets are also implemented.
