No-Code Tools Are Powering Unmonitored Data Flows
Employees are using Airtable, Zapier, Notion, and similar platforms to automate workflows that transfer customer data, payment info, or internal PII—without oversight.
Require review for API-connected tools. Monitor for shadow workflows that export, sync, or transform regulated data.
OAuth Consent Screens Are Being Spoofed in Mobile Apps
Phishing kits are now imitating Google, Apple, and Microsoft OAuth screens inside fake mobile apps—stealing tokens through real-looking login flows.
Enforce OAuth domain matching. Block token issuance from non-verified apps and notify users of token use outside their device family.
Personal Cloud Accounts Are Syncing Corporate Files via System Folders
Users installing Dropbox, iCloud, or OneDrive for personal use are accidentally syncing internal files placed in Downloads or Desktop—exposing sensitive data through unintended sync.
Segment user storage. Block cloud sync apps outside managed devices and alert on unapproved sync activity from corporate IPs.

Slack Workspaces Are Sharing Credentials Without DLP
Passwords, secrets, and internal URLs are still being passed via DMs and channels—especially in engineering and marketing teams—bypassing email DLP entirely.
Deploy DLP rules for chat. Alert on regex patterns like keys or tokens and nudge users with inline “Did you mean to send this?” prompts.
Zoom Recordings Are Accessible Without Login
Shared meeting recordings are still often publicly accessible via direct link—containing sensitive calls, investor decks, or roadmap planning sessions.
Require org login for all recordings. Use expiry dates by default and notify file owners when external access is active.
Security Logs Are Being Archived Without Integrity Checks
Archived SIEM and EDR logs are being zipped and stored—without hash validation, audit trails, or tamper detection. Attackers who breach storage can modify the record of compromise.
Use append-only log storage. Sign archives with immutable hash chains and store audit logs in separate, monitored environments.
