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.”

Do not let these statisticcs scare you – try StaffCop Data Loss Prevention Software!

StaffCop is corporate security software that allows you to monitor activities on company computers and prevent unauthorized distribution of sensitive corporate information.

StaffCop software allows you to effectively prevent, detect, respond, monitor and review measures to reduce perceived risks of corporate data loss. IT professionals who use StaffCop can adequately monitor company resources for data breaches or prevent these breaches from occurring.

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.

Stealing corporate data...

Economically challenged employees are likely to abandon their ethics in pursuit of new jobs by stealing corporate data, according to a survey from security firm Cyber-Ark. Now it’s time to protect your company from data loss!

Corporations

“…more than 100 million data records of U.S. residents have been exposed due to security breaches every year.”

It’s a mobile, connected world – and companies are paying the price for not monitoring and controlling electronic communications as they exit the safety of the company. While most organizations scan inbound email for unsolicited or dangerous content, most fail to check their outgoing email, IM and other Internet-based communications, essentially allowing the unauthorized or unintentional transfer of sensitive information outside of the organization.

Staffcop - to serve and protect!

Corporate data security is an important issue for any company regardless of the size. The nature and focus of corporate data security has changed dramatically in the last 10 years. Most current businesses use digital technologies, high performance computers, e-commerce solutions, wireless devices and other technology innovations in effort to perform more efficiently.

In spite of a wide range of IT solutions available for businesses, there have been new threats to systems and data integrity with security breaches being reported regularly. The focus of corporate technology strategies is changing to include the new ways of doing business so the IT budgets of security departments and agencies inevitably have to grow. In fact, billions of dollars are spent each year on corporate network security solutions intended to prevent and fight hacker attacks. However, there are some important facts most people do not realize.

• Statistically over 80% of security breaches are caused by insiders – most often employees.
• More than 20% of attacks on the corporate Web sites come from the inside!
• Almost 30% of companies experience more than 5 attacks from the inside per year.
