Per-CVE control mapping for this CVE has not run yet; the list below is derived from the weakness types (CWEs) cited in the NVD entry.
Controls whether organization resources are exposed to external system spheres by permitting or prohibiting their use.
By enforcing authorization matching prior to sharing, the control reduces the risk of exposing sensitive information to unauthorized actors.
Review and removal of nonpublic information from publicly accessible systems directly prevents exposure of sensitive data to unauthorized actors.
Data mining protection mechanisms detect and block unauthorized bulk extraction of sensitive data, directly mitigating exposure to unauthorized actors.
Documenting information locations and authorized users enables better protection against unauthorized exposure of sensitive data.
Media marking ensures sensitive information on removable or system media is handled according to its classification, reducing the chance of inadvertent exposure to unauthorized actors.
Protecting and controlling media during external transport prevents exposure of sensitive information to unauthorized actors.
Assessing control effectiveness and providing incident communication channels at alternate sites reduces the likelihood of sensitive information exposure to unauthorized actors.
