The vector
Every other vector is a route to this one. Identity compromise, lateral movement, and application exploitation are all means; the data is the end. It is also the only asset where detection after the fact has no remedy — there is no restoring a copy someone already took.
How Altide fortifies it
Altide - DLP operates in the stream rather than on the audit trail. Content is classified in memory at the moment of transfer, and unauthorised movement is blocked at the point of egress: the browser upload, the clipboard paste, the USB write, the model prompt. Altide - Vault removes the highest-value data class from circulation entirely, replacing static secrets with credentials that expire before they can be traded.
The agent core correlates what DLP blocks with what identity and endpoint telemetry says about the person and the machine, so a single anomalous download reads as insider behavior rather than as one more policy event.
What changes operationally
Prevention replaces post-incident notification. Compliance evidence for SOC 2 is produced as a by-product of enforcement rather than assembled by hand before an audit. And the departing-employee scenario — historically discovered weeks later, if at all — is contained at the moment of the transfer.
