All Cyberattacks Lead to Data Exfiltration
The goal of any attack is to steal information for competitive, disruptive or monetary gain. An attacker infiltrating a network or a device in and of itself does not make a successful cyberattack. An attack is only successful if unauthorized data is stolen or removed from a device or network.
When you think about successful cyberattacks, all roads lead to data exfiltration, without it there is no gain for the attacker. No exfiltration of data = no data loss, no data breach and no data being held to ransom.
At face value it seems simple, and actually with the right technology it can be. Modern attacks are predicated on the ability to communicate with third party servers to steal data, so by deploying a solution that monitors, detects and prevents the unauthorized transmission of data in real-time, the threat of data loss is mitigated.
