Data Loss Prevention and Insider Threat Management

Not every breach comes from outside; disgruntled staff, careless sharing and departing employees taking data are persistent risks for South African firms. This course helps security and HR aligned teams understand how sensitive data leaves an organisation and how to detect and prevent it. Delegates build a layered approach that balances protection with staff trust and productivity.

What you will be able to do

  • Identify the main channels through which sensitive data leaves an organisation.
  • Classify data by sensitivity to focus protection where it matters most.
  • Recognise behavioural and technical warning signs of insider threats.
  • Apply data loss prevention controls across email, endpoints and cloud storage.
  • Coordinate a response to suspected insider incidents with HR and legal input.
  • Build a monitoring approach that respects employee privacy and labour law.
