Data Loss
The protection of information, whether for commercial or compliance reasons, is one of the greatest challenges today facing businesses and organisations of all sizes. The weakest link in the security of information is people. Numerous recent examples have shown that regardless of protocol and policy, human intervention is invariably the most common factor influencing the loss of data.
Critical information has been compromised by incompetence, by accident or by simple dishonesty. In the UK alone thousands of laptops are left in the back of London taxis every year. Along with PDAs and USB sticks, thousands more are lost, mislaid or stolen at airports, in restaurants and in bars. The high profile newspaper headlines are testament to the sheer volume of data and information that has already been compromised, yet the vast majority of leaks go unreported. The sensitivity of missing data is both alarming and potentially highly damaging at a personal and corporate level.
The challenge now faced by organisations of all sizes and in all business sectors is how to address the needs of security without adversely impacting on day to day operations, and, equally as important, to do so without contravening an individual’s civil rights and personal privacy.
