         Definition of Data leakage for this competition

  • The practice of identifying and tracking sensitive data. This is to ensure that only those that are authorized to handle that data can access it.

  • To make sure sensitive data does not get transmitted outside those authorized users to an external destination.

  • Monitoring and preventing sensitive data from leaving your perimeter. This includes tracking all users’ actions.

        For example, this can be applied to data lost or leaked through:

  • Web applications

  • Lost storage devices

  • Unauthorized access to databases and back-end system

  • File-Sharing Sites

  • Clipboard misuse
