Problem Statement

Insider threats involving massive bulk file downloads from cloud storage (Google Drive, OneDrive, SharePoint) prior to employee departure require rapid intervention to stop data loss.

Goal

Deploy an agent that monitors bulk file export notifications, evaluates sensitive file contents, temporarily restricts sharing permissions, and notifies the Security Operations Center.

Outcome Measurement

  1. Data Loss Prevention: 100% of unauthorized bulk confidential file downloads automatically revoked within 1 minute.
  2. False Positives: Zero impact on authorized backup operations.

How the Code was Built

Infers user intent from file download velocity and data classification flags.

Executable Code
