Anatomy of an Insider Threat Investigation: From Alert to Remediation

It usually begins with something small. A flagged data transfer, an alert from your insider risk platform, or even a report from IT that a departing employee downloaded a large number of files. The signs can be subtle, often buried in the noise of daily digital activity. But make no mistake – what happens in the next few hours determines whether this becomes a minor blip or a full-blown cybersecurity crisis.

From Compliance to Cyber Resilience: The Real-World Benefits of DLP

For many organizations, data loss prevention (DLP) has historically been viewed through the narrow lens of compliance. Regulations like PCI DSS, HIPAA, and GDPR forced companies to prove they had controls in place to protect sensitive information. DLP was the obvious answer—a way to prevent credit card numbers, Social Security information, or personal health data from leaving the organization in unauthorized ways. In that framing, DLP was deployed to satisfy audits, not reduce risk.

Is Your Organization DLP-Mature? Here’s How to Find Out

Every organization knows that protecting sensitive data is important. But knowing you should protect data and actually having the people, processes, and technology in place to do it well are two very different things. Too often, data protection programs evolve reactively—driven by the latest regulatory deadline or the aftermath of a near-miss incident. The result is a patchwork of policies and tools that create a false sense of security without delivering true resilience.

How to Build an Effective Insider Risk Management Program

Insider threats have become one of the most difficult and damaging challenges in cybersecurity. Unlike external attackers, insiders already have access to sensitive data and systems. Their actions often appear legitimate until it’s too late. Whether it’s a malicious employee stealing intellectual property or a well-meaning one accidentally leaking customer information, insider incidents are complex, nuanced, and often invisible to traditional security tools.

Detecting and Stopping Data Exfiltration in Real Time

Data exfiltration is no longer limited to elite external hackers — it’s a common occurrence in everyday business operations. Employees share files externally, upload documents to personal cloud accounts, copy source code to USB drives, or paste sensitive text into browser-based AI tools. Most of the time, these actions are unintentional. But whether careless or malicious, the result is the same: data leaves the organization’s control, and the risk of IP loss, regulatory exposure, or other consequences grows.

Why Data, Not the Perimeter, Should Be the Core of Your Security Strategy

For decades, enterprise security strategy revolved around a simple assumption: if you could build a strong enough perimeter around your network, everything inside would remain safe. Firewalls, intrusion prevention systems, and VPNs became the bedrock of corporate defenses. The perimeter was the castle wall, and sensitive data lived safely inside.

How Cyberhaven Uses Data Lineage to Revolutionize DLP

The concept of data loss prevention (DLP) is simple: stop sensitive information from leaving your organization through unauthorized channels. But in practice, traditional DLP solutions struggle to deliver on that promise. They rely on rigid rules, limited visibility, and a shallow understanding of how data is actually used. The result is missed threats, noisy alerts, and frustrated security teams.

AI Is the Future of DLP—Here's What That Actually Means

Artificial intelligence (AI) has become the defining technology of our era, transforming industries from healthcare to finance to manufacturing. In the world of cybersecurity, AI is no longer just a buzzword—it's rapidly becoming the backbone of how organizations defend themselves against threats that evolve faster than human analysts can keep up. Nowhere is this more evident than in data loss prevention (DLP).

Insider Threats in the Age of AI: What Security Teams Need to Know

Artificial intelligence has gone from buzzword to business tool almost overnight. Employees are rapidly adopting platforms like ChatGPT, Gemini, and Copilot to draft content, analyze data, brainstorm code, and accelerate productivity. But as AI becomes embedded in everyday workflows, a new category of insider threat is emerging—one that is harder to detect, harder to classify, and potentially more damaging than anything security teams have faced before.

AI-orchestrated espionage is here. Your data controls decide what happens next.

Anthropic has just disclosed what appears to be the first fully documented case of AI-orchestrated cyber espionage. A Chinese state-backed group used Claude Code to automate most of a campaign targeting approximately 30 organizations across the tech, finance, chemicals, and government sectors. In several cases, they got in and stole sensitive data.

Pure‑Play DSPM Vendors: What’s their second act?

CSPM tools thrived by making cloud posture issues easy to find, but posture alone didn’t stop breaches. The market evolved into CNAPP – uniting posture, runtime, identity, and shift‑left – to deliver protection, not just visibility. DSPM is on the same trajectory: discovery and classification at rest are necessary but insufficient, especially as AI fragments data into shareable snippets that evade label‑centric controls. The next act for DSPM requires lineage‑driven protection anchored on proven endpoint telemetry, correlated across cloud and SaaS, with real‑time coaching for people and agents.

What Every CISO Should Know About How DLP Actually Works

For most CISOs, data loss prevention (DLP) has long been a familiar acronym. It’s a category of security technology that has been around for more than a decade, often associated with compliance and the need to keep regulated data under control. Yet while the concept sounds straightforward—preventing sensitive data from leaving the organization—the reality is that modern DLP platforms are far more sophisticated than their early predecessors. Understanding how these platforms actually work is critical for CISOs who need to make informed decisions about deploying, tuning, and operationalizing them across their organizations.

The Hidden Risk in Enterprise AI, and the Smarter Way to Safeguard Data

AI exploded into the workplace overnight, reshaping how we work. Today, nearly every employee is experimenting with tools to move faster and think bigger. However, that acceleration comes with risk. According to Cyberhaven Labs’ latest research, nearly three-quarters of AI apps in use pose high or critical risks, and only 16% of enterprise data sent to AI ends up in enterprise-ready apps. The rest flows to personal or unvetted tools. This blog post distills the key insights from Cyberhaven’s on-demand session, featuring Cameron Galbraith (Senior Director of Product Marketing) and Dave Stuart (Director of Product Management), on how to enable AI safely without slowing innovation.
