Defending Against Data Breach

White Paper: Help Systems

No matter how secure your information systems appear and no matter how confident your IT staff may be, the risks of your company experiencing a data breach are real, and they continue to grow daily. Information security breaches cost companies millions of dollars each year, and incidents continue to rise. While government and industry regulations have been implemented that penalize the company if their sensitive data is compromised, protecting against the threat of data breach is difficult. Take, for example, the multiple ways unauthorized access can occur: theft of portable devices, lost paper files and external storage devices, improper access by employees, network infiltration from outside entities, and more. Data breach incidents are not a temporary statistical aberration, but instead represent a growing epidemic. Given the cost to both companies and their customers, it’s critical that IT teams develop a solid strategy that utilizes the most effective tools. This white paper has several objectives. • Examine the problems that create a higher risk for data breach. • Explore the regulatory landscape. • Describe the technical hurdles facing both management and IT. ​• Demonstrate how the right data encryption technologies can reduce the exposure of data theft without hampering efficient workflow. Most importantly, this paper offers recommendations on how IT management can deploy strong security technologies to encrypt, monitor, and audit the access and use of sensitive information within an organization’s system.

Overly Managed Security

White Paper: ReliaQuest

In today’s world of never-ending cybersecurity threats, companies need to be greater diligent than ever in protecting their data from external and internal threats. How an enterprise responds to a breach is critical – the truth is an ill-conceived response strategy can have long-term, damaging consequences for an enterprise. Cyber incidents and their response must usually be regarded holistically and not just as a digital or technology issue. A coordinated response needs to include technical expertise, legal knowledge, and public relations, and companies must have an incident response plan in the region before any breach happens. It is impossible to prevent all cyber incidents, but an organization can manage their reaction and reduce fall-out. This white paper contains valuable insights into the evolving threat landscape and includes recommendations that will help you be better prepared for the security challenges your organization faces now and in the future.
