Lekkasjepåvirkning

Lekkasjepåvirkning, also known as data leakage or information leakage, refers to the unauthorized transmission of sensitive data. This can occur through various means, including accidental sharing, malicious attacks, or unintentional disclosure. Data leakage can have severe consequences, including financial loss, reputational damage, and legal penalties. Common sources of data leakage include email, removable media, and cloud storage services. To mitigate the risk of data leakage, organizations often implement security measures such as encryption, access controls, and regular security audits. Additionally, employee training on data protection and awareness of potential threats can significantly reduce the likelihood of data leakage incidents.
