Data Loss and Leakage

Trusted By

Data continues to leak from endpoints. Whether by accident or malfeasance, endpoints continue to be porous. But protection at the cost of end-user experience is not the answer requiring a solution that balances risk mitigation, user experience, and administrative overhead.

Control Data Access
Endpoints historically take all-or-nothing approach to data control. Zero-trust access controls with hidden drives maintain data protection after a device has been unlocked.
Protect Data-At-Rest
Lost and stolen devices remain common. Cigent full disk encryption solutions efficiently and effectively provide confidence and documentation that data is encrypted.
Track Data Activity
A critical challenge with data loss is knowing what is lost - particularly with internal actors. Cigent data logs create irrefutable documentation of data activity eliminating the unknown.

Certifications

Cigent technology has achieved various NIST, NIAP, and NSA certifications, is in use with US federal agencies, and is funded by In-Q-Tel.

Prevent Ransomware and All Other Attacks

Challenge: Detect and respond is insufficient to prevent data compromise. Malicious actors’ innovation continues to circumvent current endpoint security.
Cigent: Hidden drives and AI monitoring provide irrefutable PROTECTION of the data itself – even the device has been compromised.

What is data loss and data leakage, and how do they differ?

Data loss occurs when data is accidentally deleted or corrupted, making it inaccessible to users. This can happen through hardware failures, software issues, or human error. Data leakage, on the other hand, refers to the unauthorized transmission of data from within an organization to an external destination or recipient. This can be due to security breaches, improper disposal of data, or unintended email sends. Both pose significant risks to an organization's security and require different strategies to manage.

What are the common causes of data loss and leakage?

Common causes of data loss include physical damage to storage devices, power outages, software malfunctions, and accidental deletion of data. Data leakage can be caused by malware, phishing attacks, insecure networks, or accidental sharing through misconfigured permissions or human error. Both types of incidents can also be exacerbated by inadequate security measures or lack of employee training.

How can businesses effectively prevent data loss and leakage?

To effectively prevent data loss and leakage, businesses must adopt a multifaceted strategy. Regularly backing up data is crucial as it allows for the recovery of information in case of loss. Employing robust security software, such as anti-virus and anti-malware programs, helps protect against unauthorized access and data breaches. Implementing strict access controls and user permissions minimizes unnecessary exposure of sensitive data.

How does Cigent help organizations protect against data loss and leakage?

Cigent specializes in advanced cybersecurity solutions that protect against both data loss and leakage. Our products include:

Data Encryption: Encrypting data at rest, in use, and in transit to ensure it remains secure.
Real-Time Threat Detection: Monitoring systems for unusual activities that could indicate a data breach or impending loss.
Endpoint Security: Securing all endpoints to prevent unauthorized access and leakage.
Compliance Assistance: Helping organizations comply with data protection regulations to avoid legal penalties and loss of reputation.

What should an organization do in the event of data loss or leakage?

In the event of data loss or leakage, an organization should:

Assess the Impact: Quickly identify the scope and impact of the incident.
Contain the Breach: Take immediate steps to contain the breach and prevent further data loss or leakage.
Notify Affected Parties: Communicate with stakeholders and affected parties as required by law and best practices.
Investigate and Remediate: Conduct a thorough investigation to determine the cause of the incident and implement measures to prevent future occurrences.
Review and Update Security Measures: Review existing security protocols and update them as necessary to enhance protection.
