My Personal Information Was Leaked Too…
Growing Need for Enhanced Document Security Systems for Companies and Public Institutions
The government has made continuous efforts to strengthen the protection of personal information. This includes the enactment and revision of the Personal Information Protection Act, as well as the amendment of the "Three Data Laws" in 2020, which include the Personal Information Protection Act, the Information and Communications Network Act, and the Credit Information Protection Act. However, despite these national efforts, incidents of personal information leaks have persisted. Data breaches within companies and institutions are often attributed to external threats such as hacking, but a significant portion of leaks are caused by internal actors. According to Verizon's "2019 Data Breach Investigations Report," approximately 34% of data breaches were related to insiders.
Additionally, according to the National Statistical Portal (KOSIS), the Ministry of Science and ICT's Information Security Survey found that "leaks due to management mistakes (74%)" were the highest concern for companies, followed by "hacking from external sources (64.1%)." The third major concern was "intentional leaks by insiders (42.8%)."
Recently, an employee at a domestic public enterprise passed on personal information documents managed by the company to an acquaintance. These documents contained the personal information of 1,600 individuals, including names, birthdates, and phone numbers. In another case, an employee at a domestic insurance company leaked personal information of about 170 customers to an external party, including phone numbers, social security numbers, and addresses. Such incidents, where personal information managed by companies is leaked by insiders, continue to occur. This leaked information is often exploited for criminal purposes, leading to a loss of trust in the company, financial damage, and legal liabilities.
For companies that inevitably generate or manage personal information, it is essential to implement solutions that protect internal documents and prevent leaks. A representative solution for data protection is Data Loss Prevention (DLP), designed to prevent information leaks from within rather than external attacks.
MarkAny DLP is designed to prevent critical data within enterprises or institutions from being leaked externally. It monitors the entire lifecycle of data in real-time, from creation and storage to usage and transmission, ensuring that any attempts to leak information are promptly detected. The system actively monitors for abnormal data access or attempted leaks and immediately blocks unauthorized transmissions, effectively preventing data from being leaked externally.
Additionally, to prevent the leakage of critical internal information, it is crucial for security officers to have a clear understanding of the status of personal and confidential information held internally. MarkAny DLP automatically classifies all data within the organization, identifying critical information so that companies can clearly understand which data needs to be protected.
Lee Won-ha, Director of MarkAny's Data Security Technology Center, stated, "MarkAny DLP goes beyond simple data leak prevention by offering a comprehensive solution that allows enterprises to systematically manage and implement their data protection policies. Furthermore, its user-friendly interface and professional technical support contribute to the efficient security management of organizations."
