Data Loss Prevention has emerged as a leading issue and top priority for the security industry.  The ongoing announcements of data breaches have executives directing investments in security systems designed to reduce the risk of data and information loss.  Security strategies designed to defend the perimeter are failing.  Perimeter defenses, such as antivirus protection, firewalls and intrusion detection systems, are only a part of the battle.  In addition to the regulatory requirements to protect confidential personal and financial information, the need to protect the enterprise from information extortion and espionage is very real.

• Identity Theft - Data leaks are the first step towards identity theft. Prevention of sensitive data, such as personnel records, account numbers, credit card numbers, medical records or social security numbers, from ever leaving your network is the first line of defense against identity theft.
   
• Intellectual Property - Whether copyrighted content, contracts, source code or trade secrets, today's world operates around digital content. Protect your network with an unprecedented level of monitoring and filtering, thus putting the power in your hands to control and secure your digital information.
   
• Compliance Solutions - Demonstrate compliance with legislation such as:
  • HIPAA - Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act
  • PCI DSS - Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard
  • GLBA - Gramm Leach Bliley Act
  • COPPA - Children's Online Privacy Protection Act
  • FERPA - Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act
  • SOX - Sarbanes Oxley
  • EU Data Protection Directive
  • FISMA - Federal Information Security Management Act
  • and over 35 state data privacy laws
     
• Business Operations - Safeguard your operations by keeping sensitive information—such as cost, business plans, merger and acquisition details, customer information and pricing—from leaking out, by accident or with malicious intent.  Communications channels, including e-mail, instant messaging and removable media, comprise significant risks. 
   
• Real-Time Reporting - Gain a level of insight regarding your network previously unattainable.

• Fines and judgments from missed regulations and compliance mandates
• Ruined reputation of the organization and the individuals responsible for protecting the enterprise
• Response costs including notification and credit protection for the affected victims
• Lost productivity of employees who are redirected to deal with the breach
