Why watermarking is the future of insider risk management.

Information often travels faster than leadership can manage, especially when an internal crisis stirs discontent among employees. When sensitive data leaks from an organization from an insider, a self-feeding cycle of fear, reactionary measures, and erosion of trust can begin. This phenomenon, the leak doom loop, disrupts productivity, undermines confidence, and in some extreme cases jeopardizes the entire enterprise.

Insider threats in finance pose significant risks to sensitive data, reputation, and can land institutions in hot water – but, there are proactive strategies like forensic watermarking, encryption, and real-time monitoring that can help protect sensitive information and prevent costly repercussions.

Safeguarding sensitive information is not optional; it's necessary, and expected. For organizations of any size (and individuals for that matter), data security is foundational to maintaining trust, protecting intellectual property, and ensuring compliance with auditing and regulation standards. Among the many risks in data security, three terms often appear: data exfiltration, data theft, and data leaks. While each involves the unauthorized release of information, they have unique characteristics and implications for an organization's security strategy. Let’s clearly define the differences, explore the causes, and outline preventive strategies using data monitoring, leak prevention, deterrence, and mitigation.

Insider leaks are costly, but using steganography can help protect sensitive data from leaks by embedding invisible, traceable marks in digital content. Personalizing files and images to make it easier to identify sources of leaks, EchoMark safeguards critical information assets.
