Firewalls, EDR, and cloud security get all the attention, but sensitive data rarely “escapes” through a Hollywood-style hack. It walks out the door in plain sight, copied by a well-meaning employee, saved to a USB drive, shipped in a physical backup rotation, or pasted into a public AI chatbot because someone is trying to get their work done faster.

We talk with Kyle Zemke and Matt Buckley from iStorage / Kanguru about the forgotten security gap: protecting data once it leaves the network. We break down what kinds of information are most exposed (payroll, customer files, contracts, healthcare and student data), why remote work and cloud-first habits make the company perimeter feel endless, and how organizations can regain control with visibility, classification, sensitivity labels, and DLP.

The conversation gets practical with real-world stories: lost drives, monitoring “last known” location, a USB that ends up in peanut butter, and even what happens when a stolen encrypted device gets resold online. We also tackle the AI problem head-on, including the risk of employees using public LLMs for work tasks and unintentionally leaking confidential data.

If you want a clear, usable approach to data security beyond the firewall, this one is for you. Subscribe, share this episode with your IT or security team, and leave a review on the biggest way data leaves your organization today.
