Book excerpt: "According to National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), exfiltration is the unauthorized transfer of data from a network, system, or device. Data exfiltration is a tactic used by threat actors to accomplish their objectives, such as data theft, financial extortion and gain (e.g. ransomware or cultivating insider threats), and service disruption. Data exfiltration attacks occur in various forms, including data espionage, user or system credentials theft, financial data theft, digital identity compromise, and data de-anonymization. To protect against these attacks, your organizations should secure your data lifecycle processes (e.g. creation, operation, and destruction) from end to end. In this document, we discuss some known data exfiltration techniques and propose protection strategies that can be deployed to mitigate the impact from such threats"--Overview.
