A security team discovered that sensitive project plans were mistakenly emailed to an external partner by an employee who did not recognize the restriction level of the files. Which measure is the BEST approach to reduce further accidental exposure of restricted material?
Hold recurring training sessions on classification and safe handling practices
Enable multi-factor sign-on across employee devices
Launch a program that enforces rigorous reports of questionable data transfers
Block large outgoing attachments with a filtering mechanism
Human error is more likely when there is a lack of clear guidelines and training. Providing structured education helps staff identify sensitive material before sending it. While automated filtering, multi-factor authentication, and incident reporting are valuable, they do not directly address staff understanding of correct procedures for handling confidential details.
