Services: Data Loss Prevention
From Access Control to Data Loss Prevention
Legitimate access to information does not grant the user the right to remove it from the enterprise.
Please take a few minutes to ask yourself these questions:
Is your data able to protect itself against loss, theft, or compromising user behaviour?
Is your data security always under your control?
Do you really know how much of your sensitive data is on your employees' laptops?
If one of your employees lost a laptop, handheld or USB, how would that impact your organisation?
Do you allow your employees to save sensitive data to portable storage devices, such as USBs or iPods?
Do you need to support legitimate usage of portable storage devices?
What would happen if confidential data was accidentally exposed?
Do your employees actually know which data is most sensitive and how to protect it from risk?
One of the most devastating threats to businesses today is data theft. Whether the loss of information comes from within your organisation or through the theft of equipment, such as laptops, the consequences can be severe and can have a far-reaching impact. The compromise of sensitive information has repeatedly made headline news over the past few years. Many times, the data has simply walked right out the front door on a laptop or other mobile device. Companies that suffer such a data loss risk serious consequences, including regulatory penalties, public disclosure, brand damage, customer distrust, and financial losses.
