Every day sees another headline that illustrates how data protection has been ignored resulting in vital data that has been exposed or lost. Yet it is common knowledge that enterprises have a vested interest, and a legal obligation to effectively protect data.
Companies must understand, and account, for any mishaps and by merely adopting a security policy alone will only provide a false sense of data protection and potentially lead to the cost, embarrassment and humiliation of notifying customers, shareholders and competitors when data does go missing. When you think of data security, it would be wrong to think of it as a static problem. Today’s working lifestyle typically means data is mobile and carried across a multitude of devices including desktop PCs, laptops, notebooks, smartphones, PDAs, USB drives and CDs, and not just those meant to carry data - essentially any kind of endpoint computing device such as iPods, MP3 players and even digital cameras.
