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.

One of the most surprising findings: a mere 1% of users were responsible for almost 90% of data loss alerts.

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

While we see new encounters with malware strains, vulnerabilities, and tactics yearly, the human element remains a constant. In an era of human-based risks, safeguarding people is as crucial as securing networks and infrastructure.

Noteworthy insights include a decline in successful phishing attacks (from 88% to 75%) but an underlying concern as three-fourths of organizations still fall victim. A groundbreaking aspect of this report is its inclusion of user actions, revealing that 71% of users engage in risky behaviors—96% fully aware of the risks. The panel explores the cultural and organizational factors contributing to this phenomenon, touching on convenience, urgency and leadership buy-in.

Ryan Kalember, Executive Vice President of Cybersecurity Strategy at Proofpoint, joins host Brian Reed for an in-depth look at the modern attack chain. As Kalember explains, effective cybersecurity is not trying to secure every possible asset. Instead, it’s understanding that even in a technically secure environment, the “human factor” remains a major threat across the attack chain. That’s why addressing social engineering and human vulnerabilities is critical. Only by correlating disparate aspects of cybersecurity—especially when it comes to identity and user behavior—can organizations create a more holistic approach to security.

They also discuss:

• A useful framework of cybersecurity
• Which areas to address in regards to elimination vs. securing each asset
• Understanding the human element and social engineering

This year’s theme, "Break the Attack Chain," emphasizes a comprehensive approach to safeguarding both people and data from various threats, including advanced email attacks, identity threats, data loss, insider risks, and more. One of the standout aspects of the event was the customer interaction, where attendees shared experiences and best practices. Protect 2023 featured several announcements, highlighting innovations across the security landscape, particularly focused on disrupting the attacker's tactics and strategies.Generative AI emerged as a central topic, with a focus on practical applications to enhance security.
