G-71 launched a cloud-based IT solution with proprietary technology at its core that protects valuable data from leakage through screenshots, pictures of the screen, printed-out documents, and documents shared via email.

According to the Insider Threat Report, over the past few years, the number of screenshots, pictures of the screen, and printouts containing sensitive information leaked online has increased by 10%. Not only can these data breaches be carried out by hackers and cybercriminals, but they can also happen when documents containing personal data or confidential information are received by people whom users trust the most.

Friends, acquaintances, or colleagues may lack knowledge about the rules of safe handling of valuable data or might have malicious intentions.

The situation has worsened in the aftermath of COVID-19, with virtual communication and document exchange becoming the "New normal." Traditional offline methods of preventing data leaks are ineffective when it comes to remote work, which means that information security will remain topical for the foreseeable future.

"The main threat to data security generally originates from the outside. However, people with access to a document containing sensitive information pose just as much of a threat. Their motivation can vary from malicious intent to carelessness and lack of knowledge about the safe handling of restricted information."
