> You can make it harder to do on accident

That's a major point of exfiltration prevention, both because accidents are a real problem and because reducing the opportunity for accidents makes it easier to establish that intentional exfiltration is intentional, which makes the ability to impose serious consequences for it greater (especially against privilege insiders with key contractual benefits that can only be taken away for cause.)

Technical safeguards aren't standalone, they integrate with social safeguards.

But that’s not how it is advertised. Usually they claim is to catch hackers and mal intending employees.


Advertising is 100% bullshit, both in this space and elsewhere. I'm not sure why even well-paid people in positions of corporate power don't seem to get it. It's similar to Gell-Mann amnesia.
