How to Prevent Data Breaches in 2024 (Highly Effective Strategy) | UpGuard

This UpGuard guide outlines the typical five-phase data breach pathway (phishing, account compromise, lateral movement, privilege escalation, data exfiltration) and presents a two-stage prevention strategy: Stage 1 to prevent network compromise (security awareness training, internal vulnerability detection, data leak management, vendor risk management) and Stage 2 to prevent access to sensitive data (MFA, Privileged Access Management, Zero Trust, network segmentation, encryption), plus recommendations for incident response and monitoring.
