Resolving the Data Loss Problem:
Data loss prevention (DLP) poses a serious issue for companies,
as the number of incidents and the cost to those experiencing
them continues to increase. Whether caused by malicious intent,
or an inadvertent mistake, data loss can diminish a company’s
brand, reduce shareholder value, and damage the company’s goodwill
and reputation.
In many businesses, email, instant messaging, website forms,
file transfers, and other outgoing electronic communications
are largely uncontrolled and unmonitored on their way to their
destinations. This creates the risk of confidential information
falling into the wrong hands. Should sensitive information be
exposed, it can seriously hurt an organization’s bottom line
through fines, bad publicity, loss of strategic customers, loss
of competitive intelligence, and legal action. All avenues of
electronic communication need to be policed to prevent intellectual
property, financial information, patient information, personal
credit card data, and a variety of sensitive information (depending
on the business and the industry) from falling into the wrong
hands.
Across all critical protocols, a high-performance, intelligent
data loss prevention solution is a must-have for today’s organizations.
Decision makers should look to vendors with deep expertise in
content scanning and select a best-of-breed DLP solution.
