Data leakage: The stealth threat to business

Overview Companies have spent the last few years learning to deal with inbound malicious content like viruses, Trojans, spyware and spam. But implementing firewalls and putting anti-virus and anti-spam software at the gateway have failed to deal with a threat that has stealthily been growing in importance and impact: data leakage.

Data leakage happens when confidential business information -- like future plans, budget details, forecasts, customer data, source code or design specifications -- leaves your company; or when employees or others see material they shouldn't, like payroll, redundancy or other personnel data.

To learn how to prevent data leaks and protect your company from the legal liability associated with them, download this informative white paper today.
