Modern data loss isn't driven by sophisticated attackers — it moves through everyday workflows: AI tools, cloud collaboration, instant messaging, screenshots, and removable media. In this ISMG webinar, Senior VP of Editorial Tom Field sits down with Safetica Sales Engineer John Paist to unpack the trends reshaping data protection in 2026 — grounded in Safetica's analysis of hundreds of thousands of real blocked activities across global industries.
Key takeaways:
- Most data loss is honest mistakes in everyday activities — printing, copy/paste, email — not malicious exfiltration.
- Legacy DLP ties a policy to a classification; a modern approach layers insider-risk context on top to judge intent.
- AI tool usage (ChatGPT, Copilot, Gemini) is surging — and sensitive data is going out the door through it.
- The fix isn't blocking everything; it's visibility + behavioral context across the channels DLP usually misses.
