| Overview : |
Data leaks, whether by accident or intent, have become one of the biggest concerns for all types of organisations. Data is everywhere; stored on desktops and laptop computers, as well as in instant messages, blogs, social networking sites and online hosting services. As a result, companies are struggling to understand what data their employees are exchanging and transferring through the multiple communications channels available, and how best to manage the data so that it can be safeguarded and used only for the benefit of organisations.
In this edition Clearswift address the question "Is it possible to build a leak free enterprise?" In addition to a Gartner research note on "Understand Data Leakage" we answer the question by describing 15 of the most common mistakes of web and email security and the associated risks and solutions. It is critically important for organisations to understand how, when and why data loss happens. Only by understanding these vectors will they be able to establish more effective communications, and Internet usage policies and processes to control data exchanges and implement the appropriate risk mitigation technology to enforce stronger policies, processes and procedures. |
