Stopping data leakage: Exploiting your existing security investment

Overview

As attitudes to work and information continue to evolve away from those of the past, organizations have become more aware of the acute need to control the information that flows into, through, and out of their networks. This paper demonstrates the need for a high-profile acceptable use policy to prevent data leakage, gives practical guidance on how to use current investments in IT security technologies at the gateway and endpoint to support this policy, and describes where new investment should realistically be made.
