Security News > 2022 > August > Tackling the dangers of internal communications: What can companies do?

In this interview for Help Net Security, Devin Redmond, CEO at Theta Lake, talks about the risk of internal communications and what companies can do to keep themselves safe.

The pandemic has greatly changed internal communications within organizations which, paired with the Great Resignation, caused a higher risk for insider threats.

What are the tactics companies must learn to reduce the risk of communications-related data leaks?

To reduce risks in the new digital workplace, companies must first put well-documented policies and training around the do's and don'ts in these new communication tools.

Companies must shift to implementing purpose built technology that allows them to detect risk and take action on that risk in the communications inside of their new communication tools.

The same way technologies are used by companies for email security, network security, cloud application security, and endpoint security, there are technologies that help manage monitoring, automate risk detection, and coach employees inside of chat, voice, and video communications while monitoring and enforcing that users keep proper security settings enabled on the platforms themselves The latter being a common place where users unintentionally disable the very powerful security features that companies like Zoom deliver in their products.
