IMO this is going to create a wave of product offerings from security startups that "monitor for corporate espionage" similar to what Meta was doing tracking copy/paste into whats app, but do it across all apps. Like detect for seldom searched keywords, etc.

or lets calm down, this much espionage doesnt actually happen that much, and when it does, separating out people on need-to-know basis and introducing honeypots have been routine parts of the process for decades and costs nothing, no startup to be built here

"security startups that "monitor for corporate espionage"" imply introducing yet another third party that literally has access to all the things (or logs thereof) thereby introducing a nice fat pwn factor for everyone

Oh I agree it is a bad idea, but that doesn't mean it will not happen.

This sort of stuff already exists. The term is Data Loss Prevention.

Eh. DLP’s alright when the data is neatly identifiable. Like, a social security number has a well defined format. When you get into the abstract it’s less helpful.

"create"?

The keyword you're looking for is "data loss prevention", it's a thriving market.

A flavor of these offerings already exist in the financial compliance world
