About Data Protection

Traditional security solutions are focused on preventing external security threats from reaching the network. In today’s security environment, this is only half the story. Data breaches are now commonplace, exposing an organization’s confidential and sensitive data – referred to as data identifiers– to outside unauthorized parties. A data breach may occur as a result of internal employee mistakes or carelessness, data outsourcing, stolen or misplaced computing devices, or malicious attacks.

Data breaches can:

• Damage brand reputation

• Erode customer trust in the organization

• Result in unnecessary costs to cover for remediation and to pay fines for violating compliance regulations

• Lead to lost business opportunities and revenue when intellectual property is stolen

With the prevalence and damaging effects of data breaches, organizations now see the protection of sensitive information as a critical component of their security infrastructure.
