A design firm regularly shares secret prototypes with foreign partners through a shared platform. Recently, the security team noticed unusual connections to external domains initiated by staff accounts. Which safeguard is most effective at preventing unwanted distribution of these prototypes?
Use a scanning method on outgoing transfers that checks for restricted content
Adopt an incoming filter that blocks suspicious connections originating externally
Give staff higher-level permissions for faster file sharing
Require multiple login credentials for all collaborators
Implementing file inspection on outbound traffic helps identify secret details to protect them from departure. Granting broader privileges does not address outbound movement of sensitive items, and focusing on incoming data or user login processes does not avert all unauthorized attempts to export files.
