Hunting tracks data exfiltration or unauthorized disclosure of sensitive information as a key threat indicator.
Policy addresses roles, responsibilities, and privilege management to prevent improper privilege assignments.
Access supervision ensures privileges are assigned and managed without improper escalation or retention.
Automated marking applies security attributes to system outputs, making it harder for attackers to exploit unmarked sensitive information leading to unauthorized exposure.
Proper attribute retention and permitted-value enforcement limits unauthorized actors from accessing sensitive information lacking correct labels.
Assigning group/role memberships and access authorizations (privileges) while reviewing accounts addresses improper privilege management.
