Data Leak Prevention

With increasing frequency and severity, more and more organizations are becoming victims of high-profile leaks that started with a simple click of the send button. What are often unintentional leaks are compounded by the efforts of malicious activity from both insiders and externals whose goal is to use the information for illicit purposes. Most data leaks and targeted attacks - inadvertent or intentional - occur at the endpoint and many of these are generated internally. Unmanaged removable media and applications can easily open the floodgates for data to escape into the wrong hands.

For many organizations, losing customer information is not the only risk; intellectual property, merger and acquisition plans, product launch dates, distribution strategies, and other confidential information pertinent to day-to-day business must remain secure in order to sustain a competitive advantage. When there is a leak, organization face not only daunting monetary costs, but also a loss to brand and reputation, regulatory penalties, and setbacks to business operations and continuity. To mitigate the risk of information leaks, organizations must employ an information-centric solution with proven coverage, simplicity, and protection.

Today's security professionals face a daunting challenge: Protect the organization's most valuable asset, its information, amidst widespread investment in new and more efficient communication technologies. As organizations invest in new business systems and processes to exchange critical information and about customers, partners, and employees in real time, more opportunity exists for information leaks. Data Leak Prevention is the practice of making sure that the sensitive data stored on endpoint devices are not compromised or lost when handling, managing or using it.
