adatexfiltráció

Adatexfiltráció is a cybersecurity term referring to the unauthorized or illicit transfer of data from a computer system or network to an external location. This process typically involves the theft or leakage of sensitive information, such as personal details, financial records, intellectual property, or confidential business data. Adatexfiltráció can occur through various methods, including malware, phishing attacks, insider threats, or the exploitation of security vulnerabilities.

The consequences of adatexfiltráció can be severe, leading to financial losses, reputational damage, legal penalties, and a loss of customer trust. Organizations employ a range of security measures to prevent adatexfiltráció, including data loss prevention (DLP) systems, encryption, access controls, network monitoring, and employee training. Understanding the mechanisms and potential impacts of adatexfiltráció is crucial for individuals and organizations to implement effective cybersecurity strategies and safeguard sensitive information. The term itself is derived from the Hungarian words "adat" meaning data and "exfiltráció" meaning exfiltration, highlighting the movement and removal of data.
