6.8.5 Analyze Email Traffic for Sensitive Data

In this lab, we use Wireshark to capture and analyze email traffic for sensitive information. By applying display filters to isolate packets containing terms like SSN, we’ll examine packet contents to identify exposed Social Security numbers, personal details, and financial information transmitted across the network. This hands-on walkthrough highlights the risks of transmitting sensitive data without encryption and demonstrates how security analysts detect data leakage during network monitoring and forensic investigations. #Cybersecurity #Wireshark #DataLeakage #EmailSecurity #PacketAnalysis #NetworkSecurity #CompTIA #SecurityPlus #CySAPlus #Infosec #CyberLabs #TrafficAnalysis
