WTIA: Data Loss Prevention (DLP) what Does it Matter? - March Security SIG March 2, 2009

Do you know where all your organizations confidential information is?

Do you know if and how your sensitive data may be leaving your organization?

The ratification of data loss notification laws has escalated the realities of information loss and the liabilities facing us. As companies grow, the amount of confidential data we have to protect also grows.
Based on internal DLP implementations, 1 in 400 emails were found to contain confidential information. In addition, 96% of data loss was found to be the result of faulty business processes or employee oversight. Please join us as we learn more about DLP and the steps that can be taken to protect data.
