Data Exfiltration Testing: Can Attackers Get Your Data Out? untuk Perusahaan Indonesia

Finding vulnerabilities is one thing. Can an attacker actually extract your sensitive data? Testing data loss prevention controls. Guidance for ID market.

Data exfiltration testing evaluates whether an attacker who has gained access to sensitive data can actually extract it from your environment. This tests your Data Loss Prevention (DLP) controls, network monitoring, and egress filtering. Testing covers: DNS-based exfiltration (encoding data in DNS queries), HTTPS-based exfiltration (sending data to external servers over encrypted channels), email-based exfiltration, cloud storage exfiltration (uploading to attacker-controlled cloud services), steganography (hiding data within images or other files), and physical exfiltration (USB devices, printed documents). Many organisations invest heavily in preventing initial compromise but have minimal controls on data leaving the network โ€” making exfiltration testing a high-value activity.
