When two companies merge, there is typically a lot of data that needs to be transferred between the two organizations.

That’s where data loss prevention (DLP) comes in.
The digital footprint of the modern organization is expanding at an unprecedented rate. The move to the cloud, Internet of Things (IoT), digital transformation, connected supply chain partners and related trends have led to an explosion of internet-facing assets. Cloud workloads, websites, user credentials, S3 buckets, SSL certificates, IoT, operational technology (OT), rogue IT devices, and more exist in the thousands across most organizations.
In cybersecurity, one thing is certain: the bad guys are relentless. They never stop working and scheming to find new ways to attack weaknesses in data security. Their objective is criminally simple: breach organizations to steal and monetize data. And they use every means possible to do it. On the other side are cybersecurity companies and the professionals who work for them. We never stop working to improve our products and services to protect our customers from those global threat actors.
There is always the risk that sensitive data will be exposed during mergers and acquisitions.

This is because the merging of companies usually results in an increase in the attack surface, therefore, increasing the number of unknown security risks the acquiring company is unaware of. The numbers don’t lie.
