Cloud-based collaboration technologies and workforce turnover have become major drivers of data exfiltration as insider threat programs fail to keep pace with today's digital workplace, a Code42 survey reveals.

Collaboration tools rated among top vectors for data exfiltration.

The risk of insider threat incidents is heightened because the very tools that workers use to collaborate are some of the most popular vectors for data exfiltration.

Nearly three-fourths of employees report they have access to data they didn't create; 69% can view data they didn't contribute to; and 59% can see data from other departments.

"There's a gap in the protection stack. Security teams need to reassess their solutions. This starts with an insider threat program that provides complete data visibility - from who has data access, to where data lives and moves."
