dlp – as it should be

Data assets are the lifeblood of an organisation. Considering the proliferation of data and the myriad of places where it resides, the surface area for data loss is more extensive and complex than ever before.

Our survey shows that:

• In general, threat on data is understood as a mistake in use rather than an intentional action.
• Organisations mostly fear the data accidents (leakage or inappropriate access) more than the intentional data incidents.
• Organisations also fear Data loss by PC or USB key loss or theft.
• The number of organisations stating that A PUBLICIZED SECURITY INCIDENT would have a high or moderate impact ON BRAND equals those who claim similar impact  ON REVENUE of 1 DAY DOWNTIME.

Dimension Data is able to offer an effective solution to the data loss issues that the modern organisation faces. Our approach employs an assessment, which gives organisations visibility into how their sensitive data enters, traverses and leaves the corporate network. From this point we are able to provide a solution set that combines best in breed technology solutions with the relevant policies and professional services, to ensure organisations can successful understand – and prevent – any abuse of their information flows.

So, let’s start by looking at:

• DLP = an unbreakable chain of security links (188 KB)
• Pro-active data loss prevention costs less than reacting (200 KB)
• Who wins – DLP or a determined hacker or careless employee? (188 KB)
• With maturity comes process – and therefore DLP(222 KB)
