Organizations experience more than one data loss incident per month, according to recent research. Business disruption, damaged reputation or regulatory fines almost always follow. Legacy DLP solutions cannot adequately address today’s most worrisome use cases, such as protecting cloud and endpoint data, as well as ensuring the acceptable use of GenAI tools. Forward-looking enterprises are actively modernizing their data loss prevention programs by employing a human centric approach that provides visibility into users’ data access patterns across all applications and channels.

The cybersecurity landscape is constantly evolving as threat actors refine their tactics, develop new tools and delivery methods, and harness the power of artificial intelligence (AI). From crafting more convincing lures in previously hard-to-master languages to engineering creative attacks and executing custom social engineering schemes, their capabilities are advancing at an alarming pace. However, this evolution isn’t limited to attackers. Organizations face growing challenges in managing digital identities, navigating multicloud environments, and adapting to decentralized data strategies. With regulations demanding stricter control over sensitive information, security teams must prioritize tools that secure data across an ever-expanding sprawl of applications and environments.
