“The great resignation” is “the great data exfiltration” too
It was revealed recently, that the “Great Resignation” is accompanied by an enormous data theft. Basing on 360.000 data exfiltration incidents and details, provided by over than 1.4 million workers, the conclusion that plenty of confidential and IP data has been exfiltrated recently. According to Cyberhaven nearly one in ten employees will exfiltrate data over a six-month period, and they're much more likely to take sensitive information in the two weeks before they resign. The most commonly exfiltrated data include customer data, which accounts for approximately 45 percent of incidents and source code, approx. 14 percent. The most popular data exfiltration channels are personal cloud storage accounts and personal email. According to Cameron Coles, who is the head of product marketing at Cyberhaven, “exfiltration incidents spike in the two-week window before employees give notice. During this time, the employee knows they're going to leave but their employer doesn't, so they're less likely to be monitored”.
