Data Leakage Prevention

Losing sensitive and confidential data harms businesses in many ways.

It has been recently argued that it is in fact ‘sloppy companies’ who are to blame for the surge in data and security breaches in organisations, as opposed to old fashioned hackers. The number of electronic records leaving firms everyday is on the rise; it is estimated that 6 million e-records leave a US firm every month. But it is not necessarily the case that these e-records are totally secure. Portable storage devices are also a major factor in the rise of recent data breaches. We only need to mention the recent government breach regarding 2 CDs, which put the data of 25 million individuals at risk, to reinforce how important it is to keep data secure and protected. Firms need to realise it is their responsibility to ensure that any data leaving their premises is secure.
