2025 Data Security Report: Are Traditional DLP Solutions a Barrier to Preventing Data Loss?

Your organisation is investing in data protection, budgets are growing, and formal programs are in place. So why are 77% of organisations still experiencing insider-related data loss? This report from Cybersecurity Insiders, conducted in partnership with Fortinet, surveyed 883 IT and security professionals to find out, and the findings point to a surprising culprit: the legacy DLP tools organisations rely on most.


This exclusive report reveals:


  • Why 72% of organisations lack visibility into how users interact with sensitive data across endpoints, cloud apps, and AI tools
  • How fragmented DLP deployments create critical blind spots, even in well-funded security programs
  • Why 75% of organisations wait weeks or months before gaining meaningful insight from their DLP tools
  • What the real cost of data exposure looks like, with 50% of organisations losing over $1 million per incident
  • What security leaders are prioritising in next-generation DLP, from real-time behavioural analytics to day-one visibility and shadow AI control


If you are a CISO, data protection lead, or security architect looking to modernise your approach, this report delivers the data and best practices you need to move from static enforcement to behaviour-driven protection.
