Information Leak

Information leak refers to the unintentional or unauthorized disclosure of sensitive or confidential information to individuals, entities, or systems not authorized to access or possess that information. It occurs when sensitive data or personal information is inadvertently exposed through human error, technical vulnerabilities, or malicious activities. Information leaks can have serious consequences, including privacy breaches, reputational damage, financial loss, and legal ramifications. Common examples of information leaks include accidental email forwarding, misaddressed documents, data breaches, and insider threats. Organizations must implement appropriate security measures and protocols to prevent information leaks and protect sensitive data from unauthorized access or disclosure.

ThreatNG is an all-in-one solution incorporating External Attack Surface Management (EASM), Digital Risk Protection (DRP), Security Ratings, and a Data Leakage Susceptibility Score to help organizations address information leaks. It provides visibility into the external attack surface, monitors online channels for potential risks, assesses the organization's security posture and vulnerability to data leakage, and offers real-time alerts for incident response. Organizations can proactively detect and mitigate information leaks by utilizing this solution, enhancing their security, and protecting sensitive data from unauthorized disclosure.
