OVERVIEW

Protection Without Compromise

End User Data Loss

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

  • Control Data Access
    Historically, endpoints have taken an all-or-nothing approach to data control. However, zero-trust access controls with hidden drives maintain data protection even after a device has been unlocked.
  • Protect Data-At-Rest
    Lost and stolen devices remain a common problem. 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, especially with internal actors. Cigent's data logs create irrefutable documentation of data activity, eliminating the unknown.

ISSUE

Data Loss and Leakage

FAQs

Find answers to common questions and concerns about our products, implementation, and support.

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.
