Data Leak or Theft

Data theft of leak is becoming important in today's enterprises because the ease at which data can be accessed by insiders (employees and contractors) as well as the ubiquity of sensitive data such as financial information, engineering designs, customer data, company strategy documents, and other trade secrets.

Data may leak out of company inadvertently as email attachments or file transfers by insiders or as malicious transfers. nLive can detect abnormally large data transfers, transfers occurring at the wrong time of the day (such as a file transfer from a file server to an employee that occurs at night, which such transfers usually only occur during business hours), transfers between segments of networks that are uncommon, etc. It is also possible to search into the history of traffic to narrow down such activities and obtain reliable time stamps as to who, what, and when such transfers occurred. One can also see all data transfers from or to a server within or outside the company by utilizing the search functions of nLive.

While nLive may not be able to tell you whether the data was sensitive or not, it can bring to your attention, abnormal transfers and allow you to conduct investigations.
