In the digital age, data loss prevention is a top concern in cybersecurity as organizations strive to safeguard sensitive information in the hands of careless, compromised and complicit users.

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

Tune in to discover actionable strategies and best practices for safeguarding sensitive data in an increasingly complex threat landscape.Resources mentionedData Loss Landscape report:

Today’s episode revolves around the latest edition of our monumental research endeavor, the "State of the Phish" report. Joining host Brian Reed is a diverse panel of global experts: Jennifer Cheng from Singapore, Carl Leonard from the U.K., Marcelo Bezerra from Brazil, and Paul Chavez from the U.S.

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.

Other topics discussed include:

• Regional perspectives & cultural influences
• Global validation of user behavior insights

Tune in for a riveting discussion that goes beyond statistics, unraveling the intricate web of human behavior in the face of cybersecurity challenges.

You’ve probably heard the old cybersecurity cliché that attackers have to be right just once to be successful, while defenders have to be right all the time. In this episode we turn the concept on its head as we discuss the concept of the attack chain—and the opportunities it gives defenders to disrupt it.

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
