How can you be sure your data protection strategy can support this new way of working?
That means devising a plan that protects data on-premises and in the cloud; and one that protects data being accessed from multiple hardware devices and a host of new cloud applications.
Employees performing tasks remotely, like sharing customer credit card numbers or other sensitive/confidential data over email or other channels, can be blocked using DLP policies.
These can be low and slow data theft attempts where a user does not send all the sensitive data at once but instead tries to sneak under that radar.
These policies still allow good employees to be productive as it is not a static blocking policy impacting everyone working with sensitive data.
