• Laws in over 35 states, in addition to several federal mandates, require organizations to protect confidential information.

DLP

We talked much about Data Loss Prevention and Corporate Data Security, but let’s see what does it mean for us.

Sensitive data is our most important asset, yet we tend to spend more time securing our applications, servers and environments than protecting the actual data itself. This will change in 2010 as technologies that directly protect data – things like local hard drive encryption and DLP (data loss prevention) solutions – are more frequently adopted by small and medium businesses.

“The average information leak costs organizations approximately $195 per record, averaging roughly $5,800,000 per breach in total.”

“U.S. businesses are losing approximately $300 billion annually from trade secret theft.”

Loss of confidential data – including intellectual property, business documents, customer data, and employee records – is a pervasive problem among World companies, according to a survey released by Ponemon Institute and Vontu, a San Francisco-based provider of data loss prevention products.

Eighty-one percent of companies surveyed reported the loss of one or more laptops containing sensitive information during the past 12 months, according to the survey, which queried nearly 500 information security professionals.
