Security leaders face a dual challenge of data loss prevention and gaining corporate buy-in when it comes to communication tools. The misuse of unvetted apps can create vulnerabilities, as evidenced by recent leaks. Employees often opt for easier-to-use external messaging apps, which can lead to security risks. Organizations need to balance usability with security, ensuring that tools provided meet the needs of employees while still safeguarding sensitive information.
Internal and external communications pose significant challenges for security leaders, as insecure systems can inadvertently turn diligent employees into insider threats.
Leaking sensitive information via unvetted third-party apps like Signal and WhatsApp can lead to reputational damage, financial loss, and legal consequences for organizations.
