It will save you from all reading efforts, sensitize you to such possible act in your enterprise, and of course, will entertain you.
Varun is hired by a competitor to get (read steal) confidential data on Project X, which is the intellectual property of our customer. A strict Non Disclosure Agreement (NDA) is instrumented to create serious liability on our customer to keep this data secret and confidential.
Varun thinks that it's just an easy job. He tries various means to steal confidential data listed below and fails.
A. He tries to take away data by USB drive on his desktop and realizes that BLACKbox has tight control and monitoring on USB usage. He fails to harm the enterprise.
B. He requests for full Internet access in disguise of research work with an intention to upload data on personal cloud storage. He realizes that BLACKbox does extend full internet access for research work but isolates designated confidential data. He fails to harm the enterprise.
C. So, he gives an excuse for a heavy workload and asks permission to work on his personal laptop in the office as well as at home. He realizes that data is installed on his laptop in professional mode and he can't take it out through USB or the internet. He fails to harm the enterprise
D. So, he tries to use his personal email to attach data to send out. He realizes that personal mail is not allowed in professional mode. He fails to harm the enterprise.
E. So, he plans to attach files through his enterprise email, but comes to know that his emails are being invigilated by his immediate supervisor.
F. Finally, he fructifies a brilliant idea, he submits a confidential report to his boss with BCC to competitor assuming, the boss would not know who is in BCC. BLACKbox sends BCC report immediately to the boss, halts email sent through BCC as per Information Security policy and he is caught. Again, He fails to harm the enterprise.
Finally, he is fired. BLACKbox has all his screens captured of his computer activities as evidence. They are subjected to cyber-crime with indisputable evidence.
Please revert to this email if you know any other way to steal data from the enterprise, I will be happy to give you the remedy.
