Read this article to get four actionable practices for detecting and preventing misuse of information.

Terms of proper data use are usually spelled out in laws, industry standards, corporate policies, and user agreements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Data misuse is often associated with <a href=\"\/en\/blog\/data-theft-by-departing-employees\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">employee data theft<\/a> and <a href=\"\/en\/blog\/prevent-data-exfiltration\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">data exfiltration<\/a>. However, information isn\u2019t always stolen or moved to third parties in the case of data misuse.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In some cases, data misuse can lead to a <strong>data breach<\/strong>. For example, an employee can copy data to a flash drive for personal use but lose it, resulting in a data leak. Or an employee can send data to their personal laptop, which can be hacked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2  class=\"wp-block-heading\">What are the types of data misuse?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>There is a strong correlation between data misuse types and the reasons behind them. The most common types of misuse of information include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n\t\t<div  class=\"block-eaf12fed-98b5-41e7-a1ce-563959b24863 areoi-element container template-19 px-0 mb-0\">\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center text-26-22 p-poppins\" style=\"font-style:normal;font-weight:600\">Types of data misuse<\/p>\n\n\n\n\t\t<div  class=\"block-e6abcd33-27b8-4663-accb-88ea540736b0 row areoi-element\">\n\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\n\n\t\t<div  class=\"block-b5eefd52-a54d-43f4-aec3-c588eae9e2af col areoi-element ps-3 ps-md-0 ps-lg-3 col-12 col-sm-12 col-md-12 col-lg-4 col-xl-4 col-xxl-4\">\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\n\t\t<div  class=\"block-5dcf9cb4-a50d-4935-817c-d526f996b1ee areoi-element rounded-bg-13px h-100 d-flex flex-column justify-content-center\">\n\t\t\t\n\t\t<div class=\"areoi-background  \">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"container-fluid\" style=\"padding: 0;\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"row justify-content-start\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"col \">\n\t\t\t            <div class=\"areoi-background__color\" \n\t                        \tstyle=\"background: rgba(255, 65, 68,0.1)\">\n\t                        <\/div>\n\n\t                    \n\n\t                    \n\n\t                    \n\t    \t\t\t<\/div>\n\t    \t\t<\/div>\n\t    \t<\/div>\n\t    <\/div>\n\t\n\t\t\t\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center p-poppins mb-0\" style=\"font-size:1.1rem;font-style:normal;font-weight:600\">Data misuse for personal gain<\/p>\n\n\n\t\t\t \n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\n \n\t\t\t\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\n\n\n\t\t<div  class=\"block-b5eefd52-a54d-43f4-aec3-c588eae9e2af col areoi-element ps-3 ps-md-0 ps-lg-3 col-12 col-sm-12 col-md-12 col-lg-4 col-xl-4 col-xxl-4\">\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\n\t\t<div  class=\"block-5dcf9cb4-a50d-4935-817c-d526f996b1ee areoi-element rounded-bg-13px h-100 d-flex flex-column justify-content-center\">\n\t\t\t\n\t\t<div class=\"areoi-background  \">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"container-fluid\" style=\"padding: 0;\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"row justify-content-start\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"col \">\n\t\t\t            <div class=\"areoi-background__color\" \n\t                        \tstyle=\"background: rgba(255, 65, 68,0.1)\">\n\t                        <\/div>\n\n\t                    \n\n\t                    \n\n\t                    \n\t    \t\t\t<\/div>\n\t    \t\t<\/div>\n\t    \t<\/div>\n\t    <\/div>\n\t\n\t\t\t\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center p-poppins mb-0\" style=\"font-size:1.1rem;font-style:normal;font-weight:600\">Data misuse due to carelessness<\/p>\n\n\n\t\t\t \n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\n \n\t\t\t\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\n\n\n\t\t<div  class=\"block-2d2e1d27-c4df-4b1f-9003-2b4586bdcf09 col areoi-element ps-3 ps-md-0 ps-lg-3 col-12 col-sm-12 col-md-12 col-lg-4 col-xl-4 col-xxl-4\">\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\n\t\t<div  class=\"block-86464f26-d589-49d6-9a38-2e8fe153fd29 areoi-element rounded-bg-13px h-100 d-flex flex-column justify-content-center\">\n\t\t\t\n\t\t<div class=\"areoi-background  \">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"container-fluid\" style=\"padding: 0;\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"row justify-content-start\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"col \">\n\t\t\t            <div class=\"areoi-background__color\" \n\t                        \tstyle=\"background: rgba(255, 65, 68,0.1)\">\n\t                        <\/div>\n\n\t                    \n\n\t                    \n\n\t                    \n\t    \t\t\t<\/div>\n\t    \t\t<\/div>\n\t    \t<\/div>\n\t    <\/div>\n\t\n\t\t\t\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center p-poppins mb-0\" style=\"font-size:1.1rem;font-style:normal;font-weight:600\">Data commingling<\/p>\n\n\n\t\t\t \n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\n \n\t\t\t\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\n \n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\n\n\t\t\t \n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Data misuse for personal gain<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>This type of data misuse involves someone exploiting sensitive data for their own benefit, often at the expense of others. For example, an employee might access your organization\u2019s trade secrets or information about customers to start their own business or sell the data to your competitors. Such data misuse can result in financial losses, reputational damage, and the loss of competitive advantage for your organization.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Data misuse due to carelessness<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Negligence, carelessness, or lack of proper training can also lead to data misuse. This could involve sharing data with unauthorized individuals, accidentally exposing sensitive information, or downloading data to unprotected personal devices. Poor data protection practices, such as lack of encryption or improper cloud storage configuration, can also lead to data breaches.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Data commingling<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Commingling occurs when an organization uses personal data collected for a specific purpose and then reuses that data for another purpose, which in most cases violates the data subject\u2019s consent. An example of such misuse of personal information would be a company collecting data for academic research and then sharing this data with a partner for marketing purposes. Misuse of personal data can lead to regulatory fines and lawsuits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Data misuse can often go undetected for extended periods, yet its consequences can be damaging to your organization.

the time. In this case of data misuse, Teixeira <a href=\"https:\/\/edition.cnn.com\/2023\/04\/13\/politics\/us-government-intel-leak\/index.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">leaked highly classified military documents<\/a> online. The suspect held a top-secret security clearance and had been systematically stealing and sharing these sensitive files for over a year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The top-secret information that Teixera leaked included data about the state of the war in Ukraine, Israel&#8217;s Mossad intelligence agency, and China&#8217;s interests in Nicaragua. The leak is considered one of the most significant breaches of US national security in recent years, potentially compromising relationships with allies and exposing sensitive military operations. Teixeira faces up to 25 years in prison for unauthorized removal and retention of classified documents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading mt-5\">Case #3: Reddit phishing

breach<\/a> that involved one of their employees. According to Reddit, cyberattackers send a copy of an internal website page to trick the employee into providing them with credentials and a second-factor token. By receiving access to the employee\u2019s account, \u201cthe attacker gained access to some internal docs, code, as well as some internal dashboards and business systems.\u201d The data leak also affected the information of company contacts and employees as well as some advertiser information.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This incident is an example of poor cybersecurity training for employees, which made the phishing attack successful. Although Reddit\u2019s security team quickly removed the perpetrator\u2019s access, there\u2019s no clear way to tell if the attackers managed to use the leaked data. This data breach could have impacted the company\u2019s reputation and caused issues with data privacy regulations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading mt-5\">Case #4: Credit Suisse insider

Manage data access<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Data access is the entry point for potential misuse. Employees and subcontractors could get unauthorized access to confidential or sensitive data in various ways:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>An admin may accidentally provide access<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>An employee can use their legal access<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>A malicious insider can use a shared account or a coworker\u2019s password<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Data can be misused when proper access management is not in place. Here\u2019s how you can manage data access in your organization:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large mb-0\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"825\" height=\"290\" src=\"https:\/\/syteca_site_uploads.storage.googleapis.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/29055752\/figure-2-4-ways-detect-and-prevent-misuse-data.svg\" alt=\"Image - Ways to manage data access in your organization\" class=\"wp-image-45792\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Deploy secondary authentication<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s important to identify each user to know who is trying to log in to the system. This becomes complicated when employees use shared accounts, such as <em>admin<\/em> and <em>root<\/em>. Therefore, it\u2019s important to use secondary authentication if you use shared accounts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Deploy two-factor authentication (2FA)<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Credential theft remains one of the most popular ways to breach an account. <a href=\"\/en\/blog\/multi-factor-authentication\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Two-factor authentication<\/a> allows you to conclusively verify a user\u2019s identity, as it requires the user to provide an additional authentication factor to successfully log in to the system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Assign access attributes or user roles to each user account<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Once a user\u2019s identity is verified, you want to <strong>granularly manage their access<\/strong>. To do that, assign <a href=\"\/en\/blog\/rbac-vs-abac\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">user roles or access attributes<\/a> to each user account. Access management is especially important for <strong>privileged users<\/strong>, as their elevated rights pose significant risks if compromised.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading mt-5\">2. Monitor user actions<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the best ways to detect and prevent data misuse is to provide visibility into what happens when data is accessed. A dedicated <a href=\"\/en\/product\/user-activity-monitoring\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">user monitoring solution<\/a> allows you to easily see what happens to data: when it is used, how, and by whom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This method of insider threat mitigation includes:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>\u0421ollecting user<\/strong> <strong>activity logs<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>This is the most basic way to monitor user actions. Logging every user action taken in your network provides you with context for actions. But if your company employs hundreds of workers, it\u2019s almost impossible to detect data misuse in time using activity logs only.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Continuous user activity monitoring (UAM)<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>UAM can help you catch a malicious insider in the act. Being able to evaluate the context around a user\u2019s actions will arm you with the knowledge to make the right security decisions in real time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Video recordings<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Modern user activity monitoring solutions combine continuous observation with searchable video recordings of each session. This way you can find records of a suspicious event within seconds, figure out the context, and determine whether the action had malicious intent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Alongside system intrusion, <strong>privilege misuse<\/strong> and <strong>miscellaneous errors<\/strong> represent 83% of breaches, according to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.verizon.com\/business\/resources\/reports\/dbir\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">2024 Data Breach Investigations Report<\/a> by Verizon. This just underlines the importance of paying special attention to privileged users\u2019 actions as well as educating staff on the proper handling of sensitive data.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\t\t<div  class=\"block-feb2a63d-5b57-4781-91e9-45f6d46777ff areoi-element pattern-start-trial-1 rounded-bg-13px d-flex flex-column align-items-center mt-5\">\n\t\t\t\n\t\t<div class=\"areoi-background  \">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"container-fluid\" style=\"padding: 0;\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"row justify-content-start\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"col \">\n\t\t\t            <div class=\"areoi-background__color\" \n\t                        \tstyle=\"background: rgba(16, 206, 158,0.15)\">\n\t                        <\/div>\n\n\t                    \n\n\t                    \n\n\t                    \n\t    \t\t\t<\/div>\n\t    \t\t<\/div>\n\t    \t<\/div>\n\t    <\/div>\n\t\n\t\t\t\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center pt-2 lh-base p-poppins has-text-color\" style=\"color:#1a3b4e;font-size:1.75rem;font-style:normal;font-weight:600\">Explore the power of Syteca&#8217;s user activity monitoring!<\/p>\n\n\n\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t<button data-bs-target=\"#hsModal-trial\" data-bs-toggle=\"modal\" \n\t\t\t\n\t\t\tclass=\"block-a078d8dd-5154-4728-856b-ae04c188c41a btn areoi-has-url position-relative mb-2 hsBtn-trial mt-1 btn-secondary\"\n\t >\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\tRequest a Free Trial \n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t \n\t\t\t\t<\/button>\n\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t \n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading mt-5\">3. Stay informed<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Managing user access and monitoring user activity provides you with lots of activity records and logs that are useful for a <a href=\"\/en\/blog\/data-breach-investigation-best-practices\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">data breach investigation process<\/a>. However, this may be not enough to prevent incidents in real time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The amount of time it takes you to detect and interrupt data misuse is one of the main factors influencing the <a href=\"\/en\/blog\/cost-of-a-data-breach\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">cost of a data breach<\/a>. According to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ibm.com\/reports\/data-breach\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Cost of a Data Breach Report 2023<\/a> by IBM security, organizations that are able to identify and contain a data breach in less than 200 days <strong>save $1.02 million<\/strong> compared to those that take more than 200 days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Therefore, effective prevention of breaches resulting from data misuse saves a lot of time and resources. Here are a few considerations to help you promptly detect and prevent data breaches:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li class=\"mb-3\">Simultaneous monitoring of a large number of employees is challenging and might not be very effective when done manually. That\u2019s why <strong>automated<\/strong> <strong>alerts <\/strong>are a must for modern user monitoring software.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The efficiency of <strong>rule-based alerts <\/strong>largely depends on how well-thought-out the set of rules is. When configured correctly, rules spare a security officer from a ton of false positives. Too few alerts is also a warning sign, as it might indicate that your rules don\u2019t cover all suspicious actions.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading mt-5\">4. Educate your employees<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>When thinking about how to prevent data misuse, don\u2019t underestimate the power of employee education.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are two key steps to educate your personnel:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li class=\"mb-3\">Include information on data security in a general <strong>corporate policy<\/strong>. A well-thought-out <a href=\"\/en\/blog\/information-security-policies\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">information security policy<\/a> is a reliable source of information about in-house procedures and standards regarding cybersecurity. It\u2019s the best way to let newcomers know what they can and can\u2019t do with corporate data.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Set up <strong>educational courses<\/strong> on data security. You can ask security officers to share their experiences. A generic course on cybersecurity is always useful to remind employees to not share their credentials, inform staff about new phishing methods, etc. Make sure to remind employees why taking care of sensitive data is important and what consequences data misuse can lead to.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>To strengthen <a href=\"\/en\/blog\/data-security-best-practices\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">data security<\/a>, you should also create a dedicated <strong>insider threat policy<\/strong>. It can help prevent your employees from misusing data. According to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cybersecurity-insiders.com\/2024-insider-threat-report-trends-challenges-and-solutions\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">2024 Insider Threat Report by Cybersecurity Insiders<\/a>, 70% of organizations worldwide have or are currently building insider threat programs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s noteworthy that maintaining an insider threat and risk management policy is mandatory under <a href=\"\/en\/solutions\/meeting-compliance-requirements\/nist-compliance\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">NIST SP 800-53<\/a>, <a href=\"\/en\/solutions\/meeting-compliance-requirements\/hipaa-compliance-solutions\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">HIPAA<\/a>, <a href=\"\/en\/solutions\/meeting-compliance-requirements\/gdpr-compliance\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">GDPR<\/a>, and other <a href=\"\/en\/solutions\/meeting-compliance-requirements\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">cybersecurity requirements<\/a>.
