Episode 83 — Prevent data leakage with monitoring, blocking controls, and tested response playbooks
This episode teaches how to prevent data leakage by combining visibility, preventative enforcement, and response readiness, which is a frequent exam theme because each element fails alone. You’ll learn how monitoring detects early signals such as unusual download patterns, unexpected sharing events, and new access paths created by policy changes, and why baselines and context are needed to separate normal operations from real risk. We’ll discuss blocking controls that stop high-risk actions, including overly permissive sharing, bulk exports from sensitive stores, and transfers to untrusted destinations, while still allowing approved workflows through controlled exceptions. You’ll also explore how tested response playbooks reduce chaos by defining containment steps, evidence collection, and communication patterns before an event occurs, and why playbooks must be rehearsed to be trusted under pressure.
