Why Source Code Exfiltration Is the Biggest Blind Spot in Insider Threat
RSA Conference 2024 · Track Session
In this compelling talk at RSAC 2024, Joe Payne, President and CEO of Code 42, tackles a critical yet often overlooked aspect of enterprise security: **source code exfiltration** as the "biggest blind spot" in insider threat. Payne argues that while organizations are increasingly aware of external cyber threats like malware and ransomware, the subtle, often accidental, but highly damaging loss of intellectual property through internal channels remains inadequately addressed. His presentation is a call to action for security professionals to re-evaluate their strategies, moving beyond traditional blocking mechanisms to adopt a more nuanced, visibility-driven, and educational approach to protecting their most valuable digital assets.
