Description: Unintended data disclosure refers to the accidental release of sensitive information, which can lead to security breaches. This phenomenon occurs when confidential data, such as personal, financial, or business information, is exposed without the consent of the owners. The causes of this disclosure can vary, including human errors, incorrect configurations in storage systems, or failures in application security. Managing security posture in the cloud and on-premises environments becomes crucial in this context, as it involves implementing policies and practices that minimize the risk of such incidents. Unintended disclosure not only affects organizations in terms of reputation but can also result in legal penalties and significant financial losses. Therefore, it is essential for companies to adopt a proactive approach to identify and mitigate vulnerabilities that could lead to the exposure of sensitive data, thus ensuring the integrity and confidentiality of the information they handle.
