Implementing data loss detection

It is not always possible to implement a 100% Data Loss Protection (DLP) solution, since a determined insider threat actor may find a workaround. In this case, the objective may be to identify the threat. So, we will now look at methods to detect how the data was exfiltrated from our organization.

Watermarking

If an organization wants to detect the theft or exfiltration of sensitive data, then documents can be checked out from an information system, but an automatic watermark will be applied to the document using the identity of the user who checked out the document, as shown in Figure 3.5. If the document is shared or printed, it will clearly show that user's identity.
