> Even an employee shouldn't be able to download 125GB of stuff without flipping a safety switch somewhere.

I am trying to recall, but I am pretty sure when I worked in Microsoft Office that a build would pull down many tens of gigabytes of data.

125GB in one day from the build system wouldn't be uncommon!

That's ingress though. Companies should be monitoring and worrying about egress.

Edit: This won't help against a thumbdrive, but that type of thing should be also tracked.

I'm working on a project and just had to repull my workspace after some local corruption. I pulled 1.2TB out of the office and never got an email. I think it's pretty common for places not to monitor egress that closely.
