Data leakage detection refers to identifying and preventing the unauthorized or unintentional release of sensitive data outside an organization's network or systems. This detection can include personally identifiable information (PII), intellectual property, financial information, or other sensitive data.

ThreatNG Security helps organizations with data leakage detection in several ways:

Identify Exposed Data: ThreatNG can help identify any external-facing systems or applications exposing sensitive data. This identification can include specifying data that an employee or third-party partner may have inadvertently exposed through misconfigurations, outdated software, or other vulnerabilities.

Risk Assessment: ThreatNG can assess the level of risk associated with any identified sensitive data and prioritize remediation efforts accordingly.

Ongoing Monitoring: ThreatNG provides continuous alerts for new or updated exposed data.

Compliance: ThreatNG can help organizations ensure compliance with relevant security standards and data protection and privacy regulations.

Remediation: ThreatNG can recommend remediation efforts to prevent sensitive data's unauthorized or unintentional release.

By using an external attack surface management assessment with added digital risk assessment and security ratings capability, organizations can improve their ability to detect and prevent data leakage. This type of assessment provides a comprehensive overview of the organization's external-facing systems and applications, identifies any exposed data, assesses the risk associated with each vulnerability, and provides ongoing monitoring and recommendations for remediation. Ultimately, this can help organizations protect their sensitive data, reduce the risk of data breaches, and maintain compliance with relevant security standards and regulations.
