Data breaches are one of the most serious risks that organizations face today. The consequences go beyond financial loss, they damage reputation, erode customer trust, and can result in regulatory penalties.

The numbers tell a clear story:

$4.45 million — the average cost of a data breach in 2023 (IBM, Cost of a Data Breach Report 2023)

74% — of organizations worldwide are considered moderately vulnerable to insider threats (Cybersecurity Insiders, 2023 Insider Threat Report)

Common Channels of Information Leakage

Data leaks do not always come from outside attackers. Insider threats — both accidental and intentional — are among the top five cybersecurity risks facing organizations today. Information commonly leaks through:

• Email attachments sent to unauthorized recipients
• File uploads to unauthorized web services
• Instant messaging applications
• Removable media such as USB drives and external hard disks
• Unauthorized printing of sensitive documents

CWAT is IWI’s advanced cybersecurity solution built to go beyond traditional protection. It gives security teams the tools to detect, monitor, and respond to cyber threats with clarity and speed while keeping your organization ready for audits and regulatory requirements.

CWAT protects organizations from information leakage in three powerful ways:

1. Activity Monitoring and Blocking — CWAT monitors all employee PC operations and immediately blocks any action that violates your organization’s security policy.
2. Built-In File Encryption — CWAT encrypts files so that even if data is accidentally or intentionally leaked, its contents remain protected and unreadable to unauthorized parties.
3. Compliance-Driven Reporting — CWAT’s reporting capabilities support audit readiness, making it a strong fit for organizations operating in regulated environments.

CWAT operates both online and offline, making it an ideal solution for organizations with remote or hybrid work setups.
