Data leaks are a common scenario regardless of the size of the organisation. The challenge is how one can overcome this in a safe, efficient and cost effective way, to prevent the same scenario from repeating in future. Today, with the work environment taking a drastic change, data goes on laptops or smart phones employees carry. Servers are protected against external attacks using detection systems, firewall, malware scanners etc. They may even deploy identity management systems that audit and manage the activity of users on their networks.
But when it comes to portable devices, most IT managers do not know where to start. It’s the endpoints of the network where enterprises are most vulnerable to data leakage.
