Health (18%), finance (14%), and government (13%) were the most affected sectors.
See Every Channel Where Data Leaves Your Organisation
USB drives, email attachments, cloud uploads, print jobs, clipboard, and AI tools. One agent monitors every data movement channel with automated alerts when policies are breached.
Your Data Is Already Moving
Every day, employees send emails with attachments, copy files to USB drives, upload documents to cloud storage, print sensitive reports, and paste data into AI tools. Most of it is legitimate work. But without visibility, you can't tell the difference between business as usual and a data breach in progress.
532
data breaches notified to the OAIC in the first half of 2025
$4.4M
average cost of a malicious insider breach
The costliest breach type. Shadow AI adds another $670K on average.
37%
of Australian data breaches caused by human error
Wrong recipients, accidental uploads, and misconfigured sharing. Not hackers.
Data Leaves Through Channels You're Not Watching
Traditional DLP tools focus on network perimeter and email gateways. But data walks out the door on USB drives, through personal cloud accounts, via print jobs, and increasingly through AI prompts. ActivityPulse watches every exit point.
Physical Media
USB drives, external hard drives, and SD cards remain the most common exfiltration vector for insider theft. Most organisations have no visibility into what files are copied to removable media.
Cloud & AI Services
Personal Dropbox, Google Drive, and AI tools like ChatGPT are the new blind spots. Employees upload sensitive files without realising they’re creating data loss events.
Human Error
37% of Australian data breaches are caused by human error, not malicious intent. Wrong recipients, accidental uploads, and misconfigured sharing permissions.
“In the first half of 2025, the OAIC received 532 data breach notifications. Human error accounted for 37% of all breaches, with health, finance, and government the most affected sectors.”
“Average reported financial losses, the frequency of ransomware attacks, and the number of reported data breaches all increased throughout FY2024-25.”
“The global average cost of a data breach is USD $4.4 million. Organisations with shadow AI saw an additional $670,000 in breach costs. Malicious insiders remain the costliest attack vector.”
“A former Slater Gordon employee sent malicious emails disclosing staff salaries, performance ratings, and strategic discussions. The emails deliberately excluded IT and senior leadership.”
How ActivityPulse Detects Data Loss
Six data channels monitored in real time, with rules-based detection and automated response when policies are breached.
Complete Coverage Across Every Exit Point
USB & Removable Media
Device connections, file copies, file reads, device serial numbers, and storage capacity. USB drives, phones, SD cards, optical drives. 3 DLP rules: large transfers, sensitive file types, standard transfers.
Downloads
File name, path, size, source URL, and browser. Detects executable downloads, incognito downloads, and large archive files. 3 DLP rules with severity classification.
Web & Cloud Storage
Browsing activity to file hosting sites (WeTransfer, Mega) and personal cloud storage (Dropbox, Google Drive, OneDrive). 2 DLP rules for upload detection.
Email & Attachments
Sender, all recipients including BCC, subject, attachment names, count, and total size. Mass email detection by recipient count. 1 DLP rule for outbound attachments.
Print Jobs
Document name, printer, page count, colour and duplex settings. 2 DLP rules: large jobs (>20 pages) and standard print monitoring.
Clipboard
Content type, text preview, file paths, source application, and data size. 1 DLP rule for file clipboard operations between applications.
DLP Intelligence Dashboard
The DLP dashboard applies policy-based rules across all data channels to detect and classify potential data loss events:
- Severity classification (Critical, High, Medium, Low)
- Per-channel volume analysis
- Cross-channel correlation (same user, multiple channels)
- Per-user DLP event scoring
- Top file extensions and data volumes
Rules-Based Data Movement Monitoring
Configure rules to detect suspicious data movement patterns across all six channels. Respond automatically with alerts, notifications, and retention holds.
