USB drives are still a problem – but they’re not your only data exfiltration risk (Sponsor)
While most organizations focus on blocking USB devices, attackers and insiders can just as easily steal data through network shares, cloud storage, or even local folder access. You need visibility and control over ALL storage access points.

Yeah, but I remember that brokers used to keep a shadow book at home. Meticulously copying or printing duplicates of “their” Client accounts.
Now it’s easy to just use your phone to take a picture. AI or software will even extract the text from the picture so no reentering data drudgery.
I’ve even seen utilities that will put files into QR codes for backup and recovery.
Never underestimate human inginuity to get what they want. Be it drugs, sex, money, or data.
