The worst THEFT EVER
In 2006 I spent a few months with First Consulting group at the Roosevelt and St. Lukes hospitals in Manhattan,  The worst job I ever had.  Now, 11,000 computers, no inventory, porn, malware and virus rampant, no firewalls so it all came back day after day.  Windows NT, 2000 and XP.  Horrible.  A computer in the Roosevelt cafeteria (I used to check tickets) - chained and locked to the wall.    After I left it for 2 hours - cable cut, computer gone,

Pastor's office in St. Luke's - stolen computer.

Locked storage room in  St. Lukes on 6th floor.  30 - THIRTY!!! - computers vanished in one night!!!  We believed it was collusion between security and housekeeping.  And these were HIPAA compliant machines.

On departing employees
The odd thing is that one does not have to be "departing" to take data offsite - any employee, regardless of access levels (although that is a great first line of defense) can take data out anytime on anything.  Now you have to controls for that anything - usb keys, email, etc.  Software does exist that can alert IT and HR to a simple USB key insert.  Email can be monitored.  But, like inventory control, you can achieve 95% protection of data and somebody, somewhere, is always going to consider taking something home.

The 10 Most Impactful Types of Vulnerabilities for Enterprises Today
Managing system vulnerabilities is one of the old est - and most frustrating - security challenges that enterprise defenders face. Every software application and hardware device ships with intrinsic flaws - flaws that, if critical enough, attackers can exploit from anywhere in the world. It's crucial that defenders take stock of what areas of the tech stack have the most emerging, and critical, vulnerabilities they must manage. It's not just zero day vulnerabilities. Consider that CISA's Known Exploited Vulnerabilities (KEV) catalog lists vulnerabilitlies in widely used applications that are "actively exploited," and most of them are flaws that were discovered several years ago and have been fixed. There are also emerging vulnerabilities in 5G networks, cloud infrastructure, Edge applications, and firmwares to consider.
