Why Your Organization Needs to Focus on Outbound Content: An Osterman Reseach White Paper
Overview
For the most part, organizations in North America have almost universally deployed systems that protect against inbound threats, such as viruses, worms and spam. Far fewer organizations have deployed systems that monitor outbound content. However, the growing use of email and instant messaging, coupled with the growing variety of other communication tools available to employees, makes the monitoring and management of outbound content increasingly important.
This Osterman Research white paper focuses on the need to monitor and manage outbound content, discusses the key drivers that are making it necessary and discusses the steps that an organization should take to mitigate the risks it faces from employee use of communication tools. Also included in this document are brief descriptions of the companies that have co-sponsored it.
