Historically, what kind of leakers tend to be prosecuted? And by whom? Do you have any reason to believe your tool will buck these trends?

according to the last statistics about 3/4 of all leaks are made by insiders, by people who have already had legal access to confidential information. So we are planning to promote our solution to solve this problem. And each year the number of insiders threats increases, this the most important trend for us
Insiders such as Edward Snowden? Or Chelsea Manning, sentenced to 35 years in prison for revealing US military's human rights abuses? The leaker of the Panama Papers, revealing how the wealthy dodge taxes?

Maybe the world would be better of if the person who leaked the Minton Report, showing that the Trafigura corporation was knowingly dumping toxic waste [1], was deanonymized and "took responsibility" for their actions?

Forgive me if I'm being harsh, but you knew perfectly well that "insiders" is an irrelevant non-answer.
