Description: Data leakage detection is the process of identifying unauthorized data leaks that can compromise the security of sensitive information within an organization. This process involves the use of advanced technologies and analytical techniques to monitor and examine the flow of data in and out of a network. Leak detection focuses on identifying unusual patterns that may indicate unauthorized access or the transfer of critical information to external sources. Detection tools may include data loss prevention (DLP) systems, user and entity behavior analytics (UEBA), and artificial intelligence solutions that help detect anomalies in data traffic. The importance of this process lies in its ability to protect the integrity and confidentiality of information, as well as to comply with data protection regulations. In an environment where cyber threats are becoming increasingly sophisticated, leak detection becomes an essential component of any organization’s cyber intelligence and data loss prevention strategy, allowing for rapid incident response and minimizing the risk of financial and reputational damage.
