Corporate Data

Common employee behaviour may result in data loss or leakage of a company's intellectual property, a new study concludes. Criminal gangs have been placing staff members in companies to operate as moles, an internet security expert said. A laptop containing "strategic" GOP data was stolen from the Kansas City field office for Sen. John McCain -- but the machine lacked encryption. IT managers are facing a tough time ahead as the economic crisis leads to the consolidation of several major banks and their respective IT systems. Study shows outside hackers responsible for one per cent of attacks.  

 

Richard Turner, CEO of Clearswift speaks about the security industry’s most hyped concepts: Data Loss Prevention (DLP).
The recent rash of high profile security breaches, data loss incidents and associated fraud highlights the fact that the security industry is failing to meet the threats. Failing to protect corporate data opens the corporate purse with no guarantee that it will ever be closed again. Is ignorance bliss? Not when it comes to data loss. People just don’t think that putting family genealogy, exposes them and their families to spying by ID fraudsters and for that matter anyone else (stalkers, paedophiles, employers, parents).
